The Unicorn Grove www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/1141/unicorn.html This site looks at many aspects related to the unicorn, including related works, movies, poetry, tapestries, and other related sites.  Although not a scholar, her fascination for the mystical animal is clear and well supported.  Themes Recognized by a Reader http://utd500.utdallas.edu/~hairston/lastunicorn.html A fan of the book created this site in hopes that others will find the same fascination with the novel as he had.  Hairston states that, beyond magic and fantasy, the novel is about human nature, truth, beauty, and immortality.  He offers links to sites exploring movies and books which compliment the themes in the novel.   The Patio Culture http://home.texoma.net/~kgreg/ A site dedicated to the 60's.  Here we can find the era surrounding Beagle which may or may not have affected his writing of the novel.  With this information, we can show how the world functioned during the sixties and try to draw some comparisons within the novel for an assignment on culture. Nostalgia Central http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/ This site goes over the 60's, 70's and 80's in great detail.  Moving by factual information, it takes us on a year by year tour of what happened in that decade.  From society, culture, art, and music, we can see what it must have been like to live in that era.
