"I am here now," [the unicorn] said at last.

Molly laughed with her lips flat. "And what good is it to me that you're here now? Where were you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this?" With a flap of her hand, she summed herself up: barren face, desert eyes, and yellowing heart. "I wish you had never come. Why did you come now?" The tears began to slide down the sides of her nose.

An early reading of The Last Unicorn provided a solid backdrop for all the stories I read. Re-reading it years later brought tears to my eyes as each element of fairytales was paraded out gently.

This book should be required reading for everyone who needs fairytale foundation.

Thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Pope.
