LITTLE BOOK OF UNICORNS (BRITISH LIBRARY) (HB)

This elusive creature was originally thought to inhabit the edge of the known world. The medieval unicorn became a potent symbol of religious and secular love which has continued to inspire poets, writers and artists. More recently unicorns have inspired a variety of contemporary trends, from merchandising to financial rhetoric, and the ‘animal that never was’ shows no sign of disappearing. Text accompanied by beautiful illustrations from the British Library collections.
