The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle

A seemingly innocent fantasy, Last Unicorn is a tale that manages to say so much in 250 pages about love, loss, maturity, loneliness, hope, greed, disappointment, memory, and wonder. Written in 1968, it is the offbeat story of a lone unicorn on a journey to find her people. On the way she encounters malfunctioning magicians, bitter camp cooks, mad kings, harpies, talking cats, 'nice guys' with crushes, and Red Bulls, all while wondering "where my unicorns". She's literally me, fr. It's a book that can be read and reread with new layers of meaning, and I hope you'll join me for a discussion
