CAB - Costa's Audio Book feature 
"The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle

A Timeless fantasy.
A unicorn quests to find her lost kin.
Enchanting prose weaves magic, loss, and love.
A cult classic, cherished by generations.
Inspired a beloved 1982 animated film, of the same title.

III - V
00:00 III Schmendrick frees the Unicorn from Mommy Fortuna’s carnival, whom in turn releases the animals. The harpy, freed, turns on the slave drivers, while the unicorn watches grimly, knowing such fates are inevitable.
20:40 IV The Unicorn grants Schmendrick’s wish to join her quest for freeing her. They seek King Haggard and the Red Bull. Schmendrick’s botched magic in a town angers the mayor; raiders abduct him.
42:47 V Schmendrick meets Captain Cully, a jovial outlaw leader, and skeptical Molly Grue. Cully’s ballads bore his men; Schmendrick’s magic conjures Robin Hood figures, angering Cully, who ties him up and sings.

Main Characters
The Unicorn - Immortal and beautiful, albeit a little vain, she leaves the safety of her forest upon learning that she is the last unicorn in the world, with information about the Red Bull as her only clue.
The Butterfly - Eccentric being, speaks in riddles and songs, he provides vital information about the fate of other unicorns, mentioning the Red Bull.
Mommy Fortuna - Wicked old witch, runs a sideshow carnival for profit. The carnival features what appear to be mythical creatures, but are actually enchanted normal animals, with the exception of Harpy and Unicorn. 
Schmendrick - A bumbling magician, works at Mommy Fortuna’s carnival, craving real magical power; recognizing the captured Unicorn’s true nature, he frees her and joins her quest. 
Captain Cully - Leader of a mediocre outlaw band opposing King Haggard, strives to be charming but succumbs to jealousy when Schmendrick’s magic accidentally summons a Robin Hood illusion, overshadowing him.
Molly Grue - Captain Cully’s common-law wife, eloped with him as a young woman, drawn to his outlaw allure, but ended up cooking for his ragged band, her romantic dreams unfulfilled.
