Episode 5 - The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle

We're getting a little serious this week with The Last Unicorn, but these are dark times, for humans and unicorns alike. Take this chance to pine for immortal beauty and mentally escape the mortal coil. We discuss fantasy and depression, reading books before you're ready, and whether we've ever believed in unicorns. Plus, a Shel Silverstein gem that Grace has mentally linked to this book since childhood.

Whether you're a person struggling through the muck or an eternal being with nothing to lose, there's something here for you.

Episode 1 - Sabriel, By Garth Nix

Featuring an extended discussion of how we personally view death and the afterlife but mainly nonstop gushing about how Sabriel has been our role model for 15+ years, this is the first official Dragon Babies episode! We recommend reading Sabriel before listening, although if you read it years ago you should remember enough to have a pretty good time.

PRONUNCIATION DISCLAIMER: An unexpected obstacle that's come up with every episode of Dragon Babies is the fact that these character names, places, and objects are all completely made up, in languages that don't exist. We therefore just do our best, and sometimes we giggle about our own inept attempts at articulating these proper nouns. This is not intended to be at all disrespectful to the authors or the works, and we're trying to improve moving forward! Tweet @dragonbabiespod with your own pronunciations, we'd love to hear (better) interpretations!
