Explore the mysterious and magical world of the unicorn in Michael Green's book, The Unicornis Manuscripts. This newly updated book explores the fluid boundary between what is real and what is imaginary. Long considered one of the preeminent books on these mythical creatures, Unicornis explains and expands the lore of the unicorn. An updated introduction addresses our collective fascination with unicorns, and the profound impact that the original book had on unicorn lovers around the world. Alongside a narrative history of the unicorn are Michael Green's exquisite illustrations, rendered as if freshly torn from a medieval manuscript. Each image hearkens us back to an enchanted age, when the mysteries of the world still held us captivated. Through the pages of the book we are transported to the spaces where unicorns abound, just out of our natural sight. For seekers of the beautiful and wondrous, The Unicornis Manuscripts inspires you to believe.

Licorn - Unicornis,
By "lisen_of_leah" (Sydney ,Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unicornis: On the history and truth of the unicorn (Paperback)
Unicornis is a mind-blowing book, I first read it when I was in the 9th grade, in 1991. I borrowed it from my local Library, and since returning it, I have never been able to find it since. It is a beautifully written book, with luscious illustrations and captures uniquely that delicious sense of majik and mystery. I wrote down the poem from the book, and had memorised it, so for the past nine years I have been able to recite it and hope that I may find this book again someday. Well worth the effort of searching for, trust me on this!

Unicornis: on the History and Truth of the Unicorn,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Unicornis: On the History and Truth of the Unicorn (Paperback)
Defanitly one of the best books That I have ever had the pleasure of inturpretting.Filled with Images of visual mastery, yet, langauge as vibrant as the origanal Unicorn Manuscript itself. Personaly, I beleve that the Prophecy states the horn is hidden some where in the rocky mountains. If at any point in time, you have any possibility of receving Unicornis: on the History and Truth of the Unicorn, I suggest you take the Oppertunity.Chris Snead
