This is the wrong book -The Last Unicorn
by Peter Gillis (Adaptation)
and should be replaced by the The Last UnicornPeter S Beagle.
Hmm, I like this list but I can't 'like' it.
I'm really lagging behind in reading books on this list!! I've got a handful of the unread ones on my shelves too. I know what I'm going to be doing this month!
