Long ago unicorns lived in a haven of sun-dappled glades and
flower-filled dells. But as civilization spread over the ages --
with its fierce knights, its chugging trains, its thick smogs --
unicorns had to find a new sanctuary. But where?
Jane Yolen finds a magical answer in the traditional unicorn myth.
Her rhythmic, rhymed text is irresistible to read aloud. And Ruth
Sanderson's brilliant artwork gives unicorns a bold reality in
everything from ancient cave paintings to their secret, present-day
home. After reading this tribute to the mystical, mysterious
unicorn, children will enjoy looking for these elusive creatures in
the world around them.
In 1587 John White was chosen by Sir Walter Raleigh to lead a new colony at Roanoke off the Atlantic coast. After bringing many men, women, and children to the new land, White went back to England to gather supplies for the long winter. But when he finally returned to the fort almost three years later, he found that all of the colonists had vanished. The only signs of life left were the letters CRO carved into a tree and the word CROATOAN carved into one of the fort's posts. Some people think that the Spanish army captured the colonists; some people think that the local native people murdered them; others think that the colonists went off to live with the native people and start a new life. Still others think that the colonists tried to sail home to England and were lost at sea. No one knows for sure.
Become a detective as you read this true story, study the clues, and try to figure out the fate of the lost colony of Roanoke. The Unsolved Mystery from History series is written by acclaimed author Jane Yolen and former private investigator Heidi Elisabet Yolen Stemple. Read carefully and check your clues. You might be the first to solve a puzzle that has baffled people for years.
