Fantasy
has added to the range of the Unicorn. There are those who
maintain that modern fiction has no right to shape the creatures
of classical mythology, but there is one quality the Unicorn
always embodies: freedom. Not just from physical confinement,
but definition; defying the restrictions of classifications
and categorisation. Humankind has always sought to catch
and hold him, with chains, in tapestries, by word. The story-tellers
of today have just as much -or as little- right to try and
capture him.
