Beer, Rudiger Robert UNICORN: MYTH AND REALITY - A LAVISHLY ILLUSTRATED HISTORY Mason/Charter New York (1977) 215pp over 160 B&W and color ill. HC ISBN 0884055833 This lavishly illustrated history is the result of over a decade of research. Much new information is presented; the existence of the unicorn was so rooted in Grecian culture, for instance, that even Aristotle developed a theory about the singularity of the horn. The author traces the unicorn's first appearances in Europe, centuries before the birth of Christ, to its arrival in The Cloisters in New York and into the pages of 20th century poetry books. good w/good dustjacket (hardcover) Price: USD 8.50 other currencies   order no.
