The Last Unicorn (novel) The Last Unicorn is a 1968 novel by Peter S Beagle. After a short spell of imprisonment by a witch’s traveling circus, she journeys onward with an accident-prone magician, hoping to find the answer to her quest in the land of a coldhearted king and a monstrously fearsome red bull.
