Subterranean Press previously issued a limited-edition version of The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey in 2006. I never finished that version, but I thought that it might be interesting for fans of The Last Unicorn, as well as for those possibly concerned with the way in which a writer and a story eventually find each other.

The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey was my first attempt at telling that story, during the summer of 1962, when I was sharing a cabin in the Berkshires with my closest friend, who is a painter.

But how different is Lost Journeyfrom the finished version? The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey is an early version of The Lost Unicorn. That’s the basic story of the book and the movie. Among other things, she is transformed into a human woman, learns what became of her people, faces down a terrifying monster, falls in love, and must make a decision that no immortal creature should ever be faced with. Reluctantly she sets out on a journey into the world beyond her wood, beyond her imagining: a world in which she had no interest and nothing at stake but her mission and her curiosity. The Last Unicorn is the story of a unicorn: immortal, solitary and self-contained, as all unicorns are perfectly content to range eternally over her fairytale forest, until she becomes aware that she might very well be the last of her kind.
