A non-zero number of you apparently did not know that The Last Unicorn was a book before it was a movie. It is by Peter S. Beagle. It is made of spun glass and fairytales and iron knives and there are individual lines that I would give my lungs to have written.

.... so maybe I should unlurk enough to say that I found your books a month ago and tore through them all during a miserable Xmas w my dad in the hospital. And described the joy they brought me as "like I found another Peter Beagle or Robin McKinley."

Oh my goodness! I’m glad they could help, but I really hope things are better now?

I missed The Last Unicorn as a child, and it's one of the few movies/books I REALLY regret not having seen at the ideal age for it. So keeping in mind I'll be going into it as an adult -- movie or book first?

Movie is dated but you can still see the magic. Book is unspeakably good. I’d watch the movie first so you don’t have “book is better than movie” syndrome.

I did not WATCH the Last Unicorn as a child. I EXPERIENCED it. That movie tore me open in the best and worst ways and nothing will ever match that again. Never have I felt like I was watching the world of my dreams played out before me.

The movie is a wonderful adaptation and one of my favorite films, but it’s still just shades of the book. You walk away from the book feeling changed.

It's lovely. My favorite of his is still Tamsin. Everything in it feels so genuine and almost painfully relatable that by the time the ghost story starts creeping in, you believe it completely. He's SO good.

I met the author at a book signing. I got the impression from him and from his agent at the time that he didn't like the ending of Tamsin and was considering some sort of rewrite or sequel. As much as I'd love more of that story, I can't conceive of it as less than perfect.

One of my favorites, and actually of all the other authors I've read, your work reminds me the most of Beagle's. Jackalope Wives for example

(Brace yourselves) I have also never read the book, nor seen the movie. But Ursula recommending it? And Eve saying it's similar to one (of the many) of Ursula's stories, that I love? Sold. Movie before book, probably, or the standard "The book was better!" will undoubtedly apply.
