It's so wonderful on so many levels. And he was like 23 or 24 when he wrote it. It's rare that you find a writer that young who understands character and story so well.
Was he really!? It's so utterly accomplished. I had no idea!
Yes! Once you know he was young, it becomes more obvious on a re-read, since he really went ham on the prose, which is what younger/newer writers tend to do until they internalize the old adage "less is more." But he was so good with his prose in The Last Unicorn, I don't mind. :)
