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.
