In 1982, the novel was made into an animated film, which has become something of a cult classic. But The Last Unicorn has since come into its own. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings found legions of fans in the United States after it appeared in a paperback edition in 1965.
The book’s early popularity was no doubt fueled by the Tolkien boom J. This week marks the release of The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey, a commemorative edition of Beagle’s first draft of the novel. It’s now been 50 years since the novel’s publication, and the unicorn’s journey still captures the minds and hearts of readers. Where was this majestic creature going? I wondered. On the front of the Ballantine paperback edition that once sat on my parents’ shelf, there’s a white unicorn running in a forest as a small red sun sets behind the mountains. Beagle’s fantasy novel The Last Unicorn years before I read the book.
