The Very Short, Entirely True History of Unicorns review by kathtihdiwan
kathtihdiwan

The history of unicorns is a book that describes the evolution of the mythical creature that started about 2300 years ago. The book traverses through the creation of the fictional character of unicorn, how it takes a life of its own through adaptation of the character by various authors around the world, and how it eventually manifests into people thinking they sighted a unicorn. The book continues to build upon how the story of unicorns eventually made it to different parts of the world including its influence in holy books such as The Bible and Mahabharata.
