Each of these twelve stories captures the essence of unicorns' appeal: in Coville's "The Guardian of Memory," unicorns have vanished from this world and taken joy with them; in Gregory Maguire's bleak "Beyond the Fringe," a tapestry of unicorns provides the memory of hope; "The Unicorns of Kabustan" by Alethea Eason tells how the flight of the unicorns brings the beginning of peace to a war-torn corner of the world. Fans of the mythological creatures will be satisfied.
