Unicorns
are mythical creature that look like a horse
with a horn coming out of their foreheads. The
appearance may vary, but these are the basics.
Unicorns are simply a beautiful animal. They
are also usually described with having great
intelligence and a gentle wisdom that humans
don't necessarily understand. Often the Unicorn
is a creature of divinity, pure of heart and
spirit beyond any mortal's reach, possessed
of incredible powers of creation and healing.

Fantasy
has added to the range of the Unicorn. There
are those who maintain that modern fiction has
no right to shape the creatures of classical
mythology, but there is one quality the Unicorn
always embodies: freedom. Not just from physical
confinement, but definition; defying the restrictions
of classifications and categorisation. Humankind
has always sought to catch and hold him, with
chains, in tapestries, by word. The story-tellers
of today have just as much -or as little- right
to try and capture him.
