Illustrated by
Ruth Sanderson.
A gentle rhyme that incorporates some unusual words describes the flight of the unicorns, as they move away from human habitations and into waterways and seas. The illustrations juxtapose scenes of the mythical creatures in the wild against images that show the growth of civilization. Some may find the environmental message heavy-handed, but readers who enjoy unicorn lore will appreciate this new vision of an old theme.
