Each chapter is filled with captivating illustrations and intriguing facts, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the enchanting lore surrounding these mythical beings. The book not only highlights the historical significance of unicorns but also delves into their representation in modern culture.

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
