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 a captivating exploration that dissects legends down to their bones (sometimes literally!), shows how the horned creature became a symbol of purity, power, love… and even a business model, and tells how the unicorn ended up on medieval tapestries, became an image of Christ, and penetrated modern fairy tales.
