De Historia Et Veritate Unicornis/on the History and Truth of the Unicorn
AuthorMichael Green
ISBN0894712063
I bought this book new back in the early 80's, and have read it a few times since then. I mostly enjoy the story, even if it does seem a bit simplistic to me these days. How many times have we seen the device of 'I found this manuscript and translated it in order to share its secrets with the world'? Michael Green...
The Lore of the Unicorn
AuthorOdell Shepard
ISBN0517371561
An exhaustive look at the historical record.

Those of you who expect fairy tales -- or even chivalric romance -- will be surprised. The documents are actually pretty much all "natural history" -- of the era, which obviously was dominated by hearsay and travelers tales. Also comparisions to...
Here There Be Unicorns
AuthorJane Yolen
ISBN0152099026
I'm not a big fan of the poetry, and sometimes I was annoyed that the stories' preceding autobiographical anecdotes about how they were written would give away parts of the plot or otherwise change the way I would read the story. But Yolen writes lovely stories and is kind of my hero so I forgive her.

I...
Gold Unicorn
AuthorTanith Lee
ISBN0689318146

This was not horrible, but it was not what the first book was to me. Mind you, I get it. I get it. I understand everything the story did. And I didn't hate the characters either. In fact, I think the characters are still the strongest part of this book. What you had to go through was a bunch of bollocks, but...
The Unlikely Ones
AuthorMary Brown
ISBN0671578448
I've had a few people tell me I absolutely had to read Mary Brown, I would love her.

If I could remember who those people were I would curse them to a year of bad book reading.

This was excruciatingly long, boring, and it sucked.

I hate fantasy books that are all about the death of...

Mathemagics
AuthorMargaret Ball
ISBN0671877550
You already know if you like this kind of book.

A bit dated, very over-the-top, and has bonus clever MATHS.

SUMMARY: capable female swordswoman warrior/mother + inept evil magician fantasy, mostly set in the frustrating world o' paper pushers (late 20th century-ish Earth), with...
