Except that that wasn't published til 1991 or so. And the OP said they read it in early 80's. Or I'd have suggested the same book. Since that's kind of what I thought of too.

I read it in 1991 but it may have been out earlier -- the pub dates listed in goodreads are often inaccurate.

Holly I don't think its The Last Unicorn. Mostly, that's about the Unicorn herself, only in her human guise. I did read it, but its been, um, well, decades at least since I read it. But I don't remember anything about the magic drying up.


I don't think that's it. I have read it (and its sequel), and I don't recall a boy or a unicorn.

The Particolored Unicorn

There's a guy (Ben) fighting to restore magic to a largely forested world, there's a wizard (Meeks) and in the second book The Black Unicorn unicorns, or at least, one black unicorn, because all the others are trapped.
If a talking dog and a tree nymph rings any bells for you at all, then this is your book (and if not, probably not, they're kind of central characters).
