Steph, I've written my own version of the unicorn in book one of The Keepers of Magic fantasy romance series and they appear again in book two, a work in progress. Love reading about unicorn legends down through history.
Always enjoy your writing Steph. This was so fascinating to read. I always thought unicorns were majestic and beautiful silver horses with horns, rather than multicoloured asses!!
Thank you, Emily! I couldn't believe how colorfully they were described initially as well. And I was surprised at how long they've been written about--over 2400 years! You bring up a good point--I went back to my research, and while I couldn't determine when unicorns began being depicted with white bodies and horns, it seems that by the Middle Ages they were often presented in this way. :)
Great read Steph, I never knew about the Bible reference to unicorns as unfortunately it has been changed in newer versions to read as Ox. I personally enjoy unicorn better in Job even, if it is a bit of a legend...or is it? I'm always amazed at stories of dragons and unicorns and would like to believe that there is some truth in the legends. It helps keep the awe and wonder alive within in myself.
Thank you, Jesse! I'm glad this post resonated with you. I prefer the use of "unicorn" rather than "ox" in the Bible, too. Indeed, unicorns (and dragons) capture the imagination!

Thank you, Barb! Glad you enjoyed this month's newsletter. I know you're a unicorn fan, and I'm looking forward to reading book two in your series. :)
