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.
