It is unwilling at first because, according to Bell's unicorn story, the more good a unicorn does, more white on its hide disappears, until it is invisable. Although having dark splotches was a honour, the unicorn was hesitant to give up its beautiful white hair. Finally, it overcame its selfishness and help save the land.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384723142267852828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-3689954551510492282012-02-07T16:33:13.638-05:002012-02-07T16:33:13.638-05:00My favorite unicorn is from The Door Within by Way...My favorite unicorn is from The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson. Aidan first meets "her" when he firsts arrives in Alleble. Why do I like it? It is described as a beautiful intelligent creature.

It's smarter than he is. <br /><br /><br />-Elisabeth G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-16469056050731002602012-02-07T14:39:14.218-05:002012-02-07T14:39:14.218-05:00Cont...

The unicorn's first appearance is in The Terror of Hammerhand. Lion-O saves the unicorn from a monster and temporarily receives a magic ring so he can save the Sword of Omens which was taken from him. The unicorn doesn't have a name, but is referred to as "she".<br /><br />(The Little White Horse was taken).<br /><br />-CaitlynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-20868551632684780322012-02-07T14:19:31.834-05:002012-02-07T14:19:31.834-05:00I would choose the unicorn from the scottish folkt...I would choose the unicorn from the scottish folktale the fair maid and the snow white unicorn.

That is an adventure I want to study as well, but I haven't got my hands on a book about him yet. That is a very unique description - giant hairy beasts with razor-sharp tongues (I have met people like that) - but perhaps not the most flattering. I am sure the dainty, royal, European breed look down their long Roman noses at their hairy Oriental cousins.<br /><br />I almost mentioned the Unicorn from <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,</i> but perhaps I am too influenced by C.S. Lewis for even from a young age I disliked the flippant, almost disrespectful manner in which Carroll handled the warring equine. No doubt if I went back and read it now I would find a deeper, more logical meaning to his Unicorn, but until such time I must stand by the unquestioning loyalty, affection, and dignity of Lewis' character Jewel.Jenny Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019561431799543099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-69348251027095538792012-02-05T14:32:55.278-05:002012-02-05T14:32:55.278-05:00I've never read a lot of stories that had a un...I've never read a lot of stories that had a unicorn in it. <br />@ al: I think its so cool how people used unicorns that way.

Giant hairy beasts that killed people by kneeling on them and ripping them up with their lacerated tongues. Quite apart from the thing being probably a wooly rhino, the lacerated tongue thing always stuck with me as uber weird. :-)Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-51113477462923018192012-02-03T18:31:09.877-05:002012-02-03T18:31:09.877-05:00I like the Unicorn Song by The Irish Rovers.
