If you thought unicorns were strictly imaginary, think again. Anatomy, evolution, life cycle, magical properties - discover just how much you didn't know about unicorns. Dive into the life's work of famed unicornologist Professor Temisa Seraphini with this beautiful, fully illustrated encyclopaedic volume of unicorn knowledge. Meet species from the fjords of the North to the unforgiving deserts of the equator as you discover the wonders of this enchanting creature from past to present.
'Robin illustrates in dramatic spreads that combine elements of fantasy with the aesthetics of a vintage picture encyclopedia. Seraphini's earnest tone will persuade nonbelievers, and maybe even move them to help dwindling unicorn populations (by picking up litter and growing native plants).' - Publishers Weekly 'Wonderful detailed images of the different species of unicorns, the scientists, the landscapes, and other details described.'- Youth Services Book Review
