In celebration of this remarkable anniversary, Ace Books has announced two upcoming publications-one, an updated edition of The Last Unicorn, which will arrive in the Summer of 2022. ![]() ![]() A tale with strange and jagged edges, full of striking, imagery and complex thematic contradictions that reject easily digestible platitudes. The adventure that follows is one that is hopeful, bittersweet, bleak, and beautiful by turns, a fairytale that doesn’t believe in happy endings (because nothing ever ends), set in a world where magic is real but humans have largely lost the ability to see it or believe in it. A poignant tale of love, loss, and wonder, it follows the story of a unicorn who lives in a lilac wood and discovers that she may or may not be the last of her kind. The novel has sold more than 6 million copies in 25 languages and has been in constant publication since its original release in 1968. Beagle’s fantasy classic The Last Unicorn will celebrate its 55th anniversary in 2023. ![]()
