Phoebe: I have to do a book report, this week. Marigold: About unicorns? Phoebe: About one of the books on the list. Marigold: Are any of them about unicorns? Phoebe: There are subjects in the world other than unicorns. Marigold: I do not follow. Phoebe: Maybe you're not doing enough book reports.
There are actually very few human books about unicorns. “The Last Unicorn”, “The Magic of Oz”, “Merry Go Round in Oz”, and “The Last Battle” are all I can think of, offhand, and only the first has a unicorn in the starring role. One more if you count the unicorn in “Through the Looking Glass”, but I’ve always seen that one as a bit of animated heraldry, and consequently not quite real. (But perhaps Marigold will correct me.)
