read "The Last Unicorn"

i love the movie, but it’s safe to say i love the book more…beagle’s prose is phenomenal…the book is so heartbreaking at points, i almost had to look away…stop reading just to catch my breath

a lot of people don’t even know that this is a book…i didn’t until i saw it in the bookstore…great for kids, great for anyone…a very very classic story about the struggle between innoncence and old age, purity and ignorance

Schmendrick attempted a few simple spells for escaping, but he could not use his hands, and he had no more heart for tricks. What happened instead was that the tree fell in love with him and began to murmur fondly of the joy to be found in the eternal embrace of a red oak. “Always, always,” it sighed, “faithfulness beyond any man’s deserving. I will keep the color of your eyes when no other in the world remembers your name. There is no immortality but a tree’s love.”
