If you thought unicorns were all rainbows and glitter, get ready for the unexpected: their history is darker, more complex, and more interesting than it seems.

From ancient naturalists to medieval alchemists, from biblical texts to Harry Potter, people have believed in and written about unicorns for centuries. But why?

This book is a fascinating exploration that dissects the legends (sometimes literally!), revealing how the horned creature became a symbol of purity, power, love... and even a business model. It also reveals how the unicorn found its way into medieval tapestries, became an icon of Christ, and permeated modern fairy tales.
