The greatest of those is The Last Unicorn, originally published in 1968. His may not be as towering a name in fantasy literature as King, Tolkien, or Dahl, but his is the pen behind significant American contributions to the genre. And Roald Dahl was notoriously hostile to both Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Jim Henson’s film of The Witches. Tolkien may have parted with the movie rights to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but he wasn’t shy in voicing his displeasure with would-be adaptors in his lifetime. Remember Stephen King’s choice remarks about Stanely Kubrick’s take on The Shining? J.R.R. Yet rather tame, considering some of the things authors have had to say about film adaptations of their work.
