The Secret Lives of Unicorns — page 4 — 9 Dear Reader My name is Dr Temisa Seraphini and I am the leading expert on unicornology Since life on Earth began the unicorn has existed It is a creature that is peaceful wild and pure I first saw a unicorn when I was six years old running through a forest in England I had taken a tumble and scratched my elbows and knees when a young unicorn with its horn barely grown appeared before me It licked my swollen knee then nudged me upwards and onto the path home before galloping away From then on I spent every spare moment trying to learn more about these creatures My studies have taken me across the world and deep into the archives of the oldest libraries I’ve researched every detail sifted through the myths and separated the tall tales from the truth In this book you will discover the unicorn’s importance in the world’s myths and ancient arts uncover the power of its magic understand its evolution and learn how to protect it I hope these pages will guide you to understand the noble unicorn just as I have and help bring it back to our world Yours Dr Temisa Seraphini
