Immortal Unicorn
This fantasy series follows a unicorn's journey to understand her place in a changing world. It explores themes of immortality, loss, and the nature of myth, presented with a lyrical and reflective tone.
The Last Unicorn, which is the foundational novel for the Immortal Unicorn series, was adapted into an animated film in 1982. Peter S. Beagle himself wrote the screenplay for the movie.
While The Last Unicorn can be read as a standalone, the subsequent books in the series continue the story and explore the world further. For the most complete experience, reading them in publication order is recommended.
Peter S. Beagle has written several other works that revisit characters and themes from The Last Unicorn, expanding on its universe. These include short stories and novellas that delve deeper into the mythology.
