This time I am not hunting for books of the crafty kind , but my favorite story of all time ..
Why Oh Why Do I Not Have This !?
The Last Unicorn has been my favorite movie ever since I can remember and I just realized I do not even own the book ! The movie, based on the novel by Peter S. Beagle was released in the U.S. in 1982 ,one year after I was born. America did the soundtrack for it and it is such a wonderful story about conquering evil and preserving everything that is pure and magical in the world, no wonder I fell in love with it as a kid :)
So, upon going to the bookstore ...
YIPEE! ! not only do I find the book , I find a Graphic Novel that was just adapted this year. Hpmph. Only have enough money for one ,This is a dilemma.. which do I choose ?
So I open the the comic ...
Naturally , I could not pass on all the visual goodies .. I am Thrilled ! next time I will get the other book :)
" When I was Four years old , my mother-she was a school teacher-brought me into her classroom one day and I wound up telling her students a story about unicorns . Once I was done, according to her , I very formally said to all of them "Thank you.I will come back and tell you more about unicorns someday . I like to think that when I wrote The Last Unicorn, two decades later. I was finally keeping that promise."
