Literature Analysis Three: The Black Unicorn by Terry Brooks

1) The story starts out with Ben Holiday, the king, the court wizard, and Ben's "girlfriend" all having a specific dream which actually feels more than a dream. Ben had a dream that his old friend from Earth, Miles, was being terrorized. The wizard has a dream that he found the books of magic which will make him more powerful. Ben's girlfriend who is a sylph, had a dream of the black unicorn of death. An evil wizard named Meeks who sold this magical kingdom to ben, changed ben's appearance so no one would know that he is the king. Miles from Earth ended up being okay in the end. The court wizard found the books of magic, but one of them had pages and pages of unicorn drawings. The other book had a large hole burned through its center. The Sylph found the black unicorn and tamed it. it seemed as though the black unicorn wasnt so evil after all. It was just an outsider and was scared. At the end of the story, the wizard meeks ends up dying and everything ends up just peachy!
