Afterword
When I was four years old, my mother—she was a schoolteacher—brought me into her classroom one day and I wound up telling her students a story about unicorns. When I was done, according to her, I very formally said to all of them “Thank you. I will come back and tell you more about unicorns someday.” I like to think that when I wrote The Last Unicorn, two decades later, I was finally keeping that promise.
—Peter S. Beagle
About the Author
Peter S. Beagle was born in 1939 and raised in the Bronx, just a few blocks from Woodlawn Cemetery, the inspiration for his first novel, A Fine and Private Place. Today, thanks to classic works such as The Last Unicorn, Tamsin, and The Innkeeper's Song, he is acknowledged as America's greatest living fantasy author; and his dazzling abilities with language, characters, and magical storytelling have earned him many millions of fans around the world.
In addition to stories and novels Peter has written numerous teleplays and screenplays, including the animated versions of The Lord of the Rings and The Last Unicorn, plus the fan-favorite “Sarek” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His nonfiction book I See By My Outfit, which recounts a 1963 journey across America on motor scooter, is considered a classic of American travel writing; and he is also a gifted poet, lyricist, and singer-songwriter.
