Myths About Unicorns. From Eden's Favorites and Horned Chimeras to Miraculous Remedies and Symbols of Love

If you thought that unicorns are only about rainbows and glitter, prepare for surprises: their history is darker, more complex, and more interesting than it seems.

From ancient naturalists to medieval alchemists, from biblical texts to "Harry Potter" — people have... believed in unicorns and written about them for centuries. But why?

This book is an intriguing exploration that dissects the legends (sometimes literally!), shows how the horned creature became a symbol of purity, power, love… and even a business model, and tells how the unicorn appeared on medieval tapestries, became a representation of Christ, and penetrated modern fairy tales.
