5.0 out of 5 stars EARTHBOUND WISDOM FROM THE UNICORNS, April 9, 2000

By 

ADAM ANDERSON (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: De historia et veritate unicornis =: On the history and truth of the unicorn (Paperback)

I have been a believer of Unicorns since 13yrs old (I am now 27), and had no material to assist in my understandings. I first found this book in Adelaide (1989), and found it's information to be not just easy to understand but enjoyable too. The beauty of this book, if you can get a copy, is its magnificent pictures, in full color, and its overall feel. The context of the message is allorgerical fiction, but I have found it blends "heresay" and old lore to produce a book on unicorns that informs and entertains. I have owned and given this book away five times so far, it's that good. The information held within it's pages covers the birth of Unicorns, their habits and life-style, and their exit from our world. I have found the more I read this book, the more I get out of it. Definitely recommended to those who already believe and like the imagery and faith of the Unicorn. GOOD READING:Almtree."2000

This review is from: De historia et veritate unicornis =: On the history and truth of the unicorn (Paperback)

This is a wonderous achievment! De Historia et Veritate Unicornis is a book that really a translated version of a 'book' or just some writing/notes (with drawings) about the Unicorn. I am an avid fantasy reader and this book was a great find! Unfortunately, this is out of print, but if you ever find it, make sure to buy it and enjoy its beauty and let yourself believe!

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of beautiful Unicorn artwork and more., January 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: De Historia Et Veritate Unicornis/on the History and Truth of the Unicorn (Paperback)

Mr. Green has provided a sumptuous feast of color illustrations of the mystical Unicorn in a wide variety of settings, and with the accompanying original text, transports one's imagination to an enchanted, magical land. Though the editions of this book as of this writing are out of print, it is well worth the effort to locate a copy - I prefer the earlier edition where the illustrations were in their original smaller but more vivid appearance. A lovely book throughout.
