In this passage from Peter S. Beagle's "The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey," Azazel responds enthusiastically to a request, boasting about the extensive collection of trinkets and whimsical items he possesses. He describes his inventory as a mix of colorful curiosities and playful nonsense, including various decorative and frivolous products. His charm lies in the playful language he uses to highlight the absurdity and charm of his wares. He also suggests a sense of urgency about the availability of these quirky items, indicating that some may soon be unavailable.
Additionally, Azazel acknowledges practicality by offering more standard items alongside his fanciful selections, catering to different tastes. His assurance to include simple pleasures like gum for children reflects a thoughtful consideration for his audience. The over-the-top nature of his inventory, filled with oddities and charming silliness, emphasizes a whimsical perspective on material possessions, inviting both amusement and contemplation about the nature of desire and fulfillment.
