From the Magical Unicorn Society's Department of Unicorns, Myths
and Monsters comes this all-new collection of stories dedicated to
the amazing mythical creatures - good and bad - that exist
alongside unicorns. Introduced by department head and intrepid
explorer, May Shaw, there are tales of fearsome, fire-breathing
dragons, phoenixes rising from the ashes, mysterious kraken that
lurk in the deep, imps, sprites and werewolves in mythical forests,
as well as the eight unicorn families and those who have
encountered unicorns throughout history. Each of the eight stories
is accompanied by striking, full-colour artwork that shows the
powers of the specific mythical creature in more detail, as well as
an epic illustration of a key moment from the text. Perfect for
fans of the previous bestselling titles in the Magical Unicorn
Society series, but can also be read alone.
