The Last Unicorn | Peter S. Beagle

Pickpick

One day late, l've finished my read for the #SpringCleaningRead

I haven't read The Last Unicorn yet, though l know the story through the film. This first version is different in many ways, there are characters who aren't in the published novel and the setting is contemporanea, rather than fantasy.

I understand why this version was abandoned, it meaders a lot. But there are already very deep ideas in here, so l know why it was salvaged, too

IamIamIam Peter Beagle said his only regret about the film was that they cut out the village at the entrance to King Haggard's kingdom. 8y
JazzFeathers I got a feeling that he was overall happy with the film, from what he said in these book 8y

Halfway through this one and loving it. I like the coolness of the kid against the vitality of the gods.
Is the new Gaiman Norvegia Mythology in the same vein?

BibliophileMomma Love that cover. 8y
JazzFeathers It's a nice one. I've seen other, newer versions too 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk The new one is a much more traditional adaptation of the myths as opposed to a structured narrative like Odd. But they're both great! 8y
