I guess it's time to just face up to the facts - unicorns are just a little corny. Either that or the people who love them are. I don't know. I'm not the unicorn fan really - my daughter is, so maybe I'm just not the best judge. But I really thought I'd love this book. I loved the looks of it. It instantly reminded me of some of my favorite books - Faeries, Gnomes, etc. Basically it has the look of those popular 'realistic' field guide. And I totally love that kind of thing!

An altogether lovely book, and the most gorgeous illustrations. Imagine if Da Vinci spent an afternoon doing sketches of unicorns. That's what most of the pictures remind me of.
From what I remember, this book was a "history" of the unicorn, but it also had a puzzle with a possible prize. There's a riddle at the end, and the solution is scattered throughout the rest of the book. Supposedly, if you can solve the riddle then the answer will tell you where to find a real unicor More...

This has very beautiful unicorn sketches and artwork. Could have been a four star if it had been longer with more information and artwork. The book is supposedly based off a true manuscript about unicorns so the author challenges the readers skepticism about whether or not the notes contained in the book are real or not. It is called a facsimile original manuscript for a reason but no less the must read for any unicorn fan.

Perhaps we are supposed to grow out of our childhood fantasies, but I received this as a gift last Christmas and realized the magic will never leave me. Beautiful illustrations; a wonderful gift idea for a unicorn fan.

The images in this book are stunning. The history is well written and believable. This book is a must for unicorn lovers and dreamers alike.

Sign number one that I was a massive geek child: this was my favorite birthday present when I turned 10. Lovely, though.

This book was a gift from some great friends back in my days living in Spain. It certainly resembles the magic my friends exhumed and the magic of those days.
A beautiful read for all those who know that beyond all our intelligence and logic there's always a semi real fantasy.
