Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Tales of unicorns have been passed down over millennia. They go back further than 2000 BCE in Asia! These stories aren't always about the gentle unicorns we think of today. Some unicorns were said to be absolutely fierce creatures. This thought-provoking text presents unicorn mythology from around the world and asks if it's possible that unicorns actually existed at one time. The accessible narrative and vivid historical images--including medieval tapestries--offer information that will capture the curiosity of both unicorn-lovers and reluctant readers, including suggestions about what to bring on their next unicorn quest.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
A single horn -- Not so strange? -- Unicorn tales around the world -- Through the Middle Ages -- All about the horn -- Catching a unicorn -- Looking in nature -- Unicorns today -- What do you believe? -- Glossary -- For more information -- Index.
"Exploring stories about unicorns from around the globe, this narrative text presents myths and legends in an easy-to-follow narrative voice in conjunction with possible scientific explanations. Bright images and a playful design will keep even the most reluctant readers interested, while a glossary allows readers to build upon their vocabulary"-- Provided by publisher.
