Signed limited edition of 'The Last Unicorn' by Peter S. Beagle, published by Suntup Press. The highly desirable Classic Edition which sold out almost instantly at the publisher's. This is a brand new copy, still in the publisher's shrink-wrapped and protective packaging. This Classic Edition is limited to 750 copies, printed letterpress on Mohawk Superfine and signed by the author and artist. The book measures 6'' x 9'' and features nine full colour, tipped in, oil painting illustrations by Tom Kidd, as well as a new exclusive introduction by the author. One of the nine illustrations is presented as a fold-out. The endpapers and the dust jacket are also illustrated by Tom Kidd. The book is a smyth-sewn full cloth binding covered in Platinum Silk Moiré cloth. The edition is housed in a slipcase covered in Dubletta cloth, a luxurious woven cotton fabric with a subtle duo-tone appearance, and featuring cloth ends in a complimentary colour. An enchanted fantasy full of unforgettable characters and profound themes, 'The Last Unicorn' by Peter S. Beagle has charmed and delighted readers for over half a century. Magical, beautiful beyond belief and completely alone, the unicorn has lived since before memory in a forest where death could touch nothing. Maidens who caught a glimpse of her glory were blessed by enchantment they would never forget. But outside her wondrous realm, dark whispers and rumours carried a message she could not ignore: ''Unicorns are gone from the world.'' Aided by a bumbling magician and an indomitable spinster, the unicorn embarks on a dangerous quest to learn the truth about what happened to her kind. With its lyrical prose, whimsical humour and philosophical ruminations on what it means to be human, 'The Last Unicorn' is a quasi-medieval fairy tale that remains timeless. Published at last in a finely bound, illustrated, signed, limited edition which will be as much in demand by future generations of fantasy-lovers as it is by this. Printed and bound in the U.S.A. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A new copy, still in publisher's shrink-wrap and protective packaging. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and insured. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005995
