\"\"Did you know that tomorrow is National Unicorn Day? Well, it is. One year it was brought to my attention that April 9th is National Unicorn Day and since I like unicorns, I made note of it on my calendar. However, a cursory internet search could not tell me WHY April 9th became National Unicorn Day, just that it is. And that concludes the historical portion of this article.<\/p>\n

Honestly, there has just been a bumper crop of unicorn related books lately and I thought this would be a could occasion to give you a giant list o\u2019 links to check stuff out. How better to celebrate unicorns than by buying books about unicorns, right?<\/p>\n

You might remember that in January 2020 I profiled a \u201cStampede of Unicorns!\u201d<\/a> That review features \u201cUnicorn Magic\u201d by Tess Whitehurst, \u201cLlewellyn\u2019s Little Book of Unicorns\u201d by Angela Wix, and \u201cThe Wonder of Unicorns\u201d by Diane Cooper. It turns out that Diane Cooper also has \u201cThe Wonder of Unicorns Game\u201d and \u201cThe Wonder of Unicorn Cards!\u201d She even has a compact disc of guided meditations, \u201cThe Unicorn Meditation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"I personally own a very worn-out copy of \u201cThe Unicorn Tarot\u201d by Suzanne Star with art by Liz Hilton.<\/a> The outer box art has changed, but the deck is the same.<\/p>\n

It is out of print, but if you want to read the book that turned me into a unicorn fan, try and get a hold of \u201cThe Unicorn\u201d by Nancy Hathaway. If you can get one in good condition, it would make a beautiful coffee table book. Of course, mine is so worn out it can barely stay together, let alone let visitors casually flip through it!<\/p>\n

Lastly, you cannot discuss unicorns without mentioning \u201cThe Last Unicorn.\u201d<\/a> After all this time the animated film is still magical and the book by Peter S. Beagle is even better! I own the DVD, and two different print runs of the novel! Perhaps Friday is the perfect day to dig out the DVD, or reread the book?<\/p>\n
