Unicorns have appeared in mythological and religious texts for
thousands of years. Often the case of a mistranslation, or mistaken
identity, these mystical creatures have built a legendary history
that now revels in the landscapes of modern fantasy fiction, novels
and popular culture in general. This beautiful new book contains a
huge range of gorgeous unicorns, painted in many different styles
by modern artists, but all treated with the respect and wonder such
a creature deserves. See the magical forests, and the life-giving
rivers of the elven realms, the flowing tresses of the princesses
and white witches who tend the unicorn, see the young and the old,
the white and the black unicorns, and submit to this joyful
celebration of a mythology brought to life.

Charlotte Higgins' spellbinding new collection will include all the
most famous Greek myths, as well as many less well known but
equally intriguing ones. Here are stories of the creation, of
Heracles and Theseus and Perseus, the Trojan war and its origins
and aftermaths, tales of Thebes and Argos and Athens. There are
stories of love and desire, adventure and magic, destructive gods,
helpless humans, gender-shifting characters, resourceful witches,
and the origins of birds and animals. Taking her cue from Ovid,
Charlotte Higgins has an intriguing structural device to thread her
stories together. Inspired by the many moments in Greek myths in
which women are seen to weave stories on to textiles (such as Helen
of Troy in Homer, and Arachne and Minerva in Ovid), the tales will
be told as if they are scenes in the act of being woven on to
textiles by women. And, while not operating as an explicitly
feminist retelling, this will add a new dimension to her myths,
bringing women narrators and characters into the foreground. Above
all, Charlotte Higgins' Greek Myths will be an original work of
literature and scholarship by an exceptionally talented writer. It
will be book to be enjoyed as a work of art, a source to be
consulted, a present to be given, and an object to keep and
treasure.
Like no other book of the 20th century, Hall's legendary "The
