Whimsical. Lyrical. Poignant. The acclaimed and beloved novel by Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn is a tale for any age about the wonders of magic, the power of love, and the tragedy of loss.
The unicorn, alone in her enchanted wood, discovers that she may be the last of her kind. Reluctant at first, she sets out on a journey to find her fellow unicorns, even if it means facing the terrifying anger of the Red Bull and malignant evil of the king who wields his power.
Like the music of the band the Decemberists, Wildwood is a whimsical adventure for audiences young and old. Reading this first installment in the (hopeful) series takes the reader to a hidden world full of talking animals, young intrepid explorers, and daring adventure. I believe this novel will be a true staple on the shelves and a delight for fans of YA Fiction. So support Powell's books and your love of reading by purchasing a copy of Wildwood today and prepare to not put this one down until you've explored every inch of the Wildwoods within.
