Beagle was born on April 20, 1939 in Manhattan. Beagle would write his first published novel "A Fine and Private Place" at just 19 years old, getting it published in 1960, followed by a memoir in 1965. The road to "The Last Unicorn" was difficult, supposedly taking Beagle over 2 years to write. He would take inspiration from various fantasy and mythological works, as well as a story his mother told him about a unicorn which in turn inspired him to research the mythical animals at the Pittsfield Library. "The Last Unicorn" would finally release in 1968, and quickly received glowing reviews, coming to be Beagles most beloved and well-known novel.
