Unicorns have really lost their stature in modern fantasy. Not sure why; Zelanzy tried to bring them back (and did to a degree). Therefore, it was interesting to delve into a story about the "last unicorn".
I like the way Beagle writes. He has a good amount of detail in his environment and characters. I like how he focuses on expressions; eyes, facial, body language, etc. The short story he tells here is full of twists, depth and appropriate action. The bittersweet ending is full of delightful tension, if a little too quick, to short. I will look for other Beagle books.
