Illustrated by Kay O’Neill
4 stars
A fascinating read following the history, legends, and pop culture surrounding unicorns. With gorgeous illustrations from O’Neill, this is a wonderful read.
The book is broken down into sections that cover history, pop culture, how stories and representations have evolved over time, legends, related creatures and beings, tips on becoming friends with a unicorn, and crafts and recipes for adding some sparkle to your life. I really enjoyed the blend of fact and fiction, dipping into history, (crypto)zoology, literature, media, and mythology.
Also includes an index for quick reference and a bibliography with additional resources and media mentioned in the book.
Well-written, beautifully presented, and a fun read overall. Perfect for unicorn lovers of all ages.
