The Book of the Magical Mythical Unicorn is a useful book for folklorists and storytellers. Whether or not you subscribe to its New age beliefs, it has a heartfelt positive message that the universe abounds with overflowing love for you, which is always nice to read. However, if you only take one thing away from this book, perhaps it should be "never play leapfrog with a unicorn..." 4/5 STARS FORTEAN TIMES - FT409 September 2021 ~ FORTEAN TIMES, Review
The Book of the Magical, Mythical Unicorn compiles multiple, international sources of information on the myth, legend, and conjectured physical reality of the unicorn. It appears to have been a labor of love for Vakasha Brenman, one of the two authors, who was the founder of the non-profit Unicorn Archive. She completed this book with the writer, Alfonso Colasuonno before she passed away this last summer. There is a definite New Age leaning in the writing referring to the unicorn as a multidimensional being that chooses to come down from higher dimensions to aid humans. Without a doubt, this book has more information, from more parts of the globe, than any other unicorn book I have read. ~ Facing North, Review
