For centuries, unicorns have inspired, enchanted and eluded
humanity. The beast appears in the Old Testament and there was a
brisk trade in unicorn parts in medieval times, with travellers
regularly reporting sightings into the modern era. But by the early
twentieth century scientists had conceded that the unicorn never
existed. It turns out they were a little hasty. Where did the
unicorn come from, and how was it accepted as a part of the animal
kingdom for so long? Chris Lavers argues that although the unicorn
of our imagination isn't real, traces of its character can be found
in existing species. In this lively and vivid exploration of the
natural world, Lavers follows the beast's trail to the plateaus of
India and into the jungles of Africa to unearth the flesh and blood
ancestors of our iconic unicorn.
