Where Have the Unicorns Gone

by Jane Yolen

Where Have the Unicorns Gone Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Long ago, unicorns lived in a haven of sun-dappled glades and flower-filled dells. But as civilization spread over the ages — with its fierce knights, its chugging trains, its thick smogs — unicorns had to find a new sanctuary.

Where?

Jane Yolen finds a magical answer in the traditional unicorn myth. Her rhythmic, rhymed text is irresistible to read aloud. And Ruth Sanderson's brilliant artwork gives unicorns a bold reality in everything from ancient cave paintings to their secret, present-day home. After reading this tribute to the mystical, mysterious unicorn, children will enjoy looking for these elusive creatures in the world around them.

Synopsis:

In lilting text, Jane Yolen weaves a mythical tale about those otherworldly creatures, the unicorns. Driven from their rural paradise, the unicorns flee from the noise, violence, and destruction of civilization and find refuge in the sea. Full color.
