The Last Unicorn

One of my perennial favorites. It's wrapped in the clichés and archetypes of fairy tales, but it's much more than it seems. It's about transformation, about love, about the way happiness can make you sad and getting what you want can be bittersweet. It's about becoming who you are, and what you might lose when you do. It's about mortality and our yearning for the timeless. It's a story about stories and how real life doesn't work that way, except when it does. I never tire of it, and every time I read it, it is different.
