The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey by Peter S. Beagle

4.0

This first draft of The Last Unicorn makes me appreciate the novel even more. I love the story as it was first published, and while this edition lacks much of the magic and adventure from it, I enjoyed understanding the unicorn’s origins. The dragon and demon were unexpected companions for the unicorn and me, and I had fun with the quirkiness and philosophy they both added to the story. Admittedly, though, the final book is much better having Schmendrick, Molly, and everyone else. Thanks to Beagle for allowing this draft to be published, so his fans could read what was first deemed not the book to put out into the world.
