Linda & Roger Garland:  The Book Of The Unicorn
                                             (1996 - Paper Tiger / Dragon's Dream)  

     (by Nigel Suckling)   128 pages geared towards unicorns, 87 of them featuring large reproductions of the commissioned art of Linda and Roger Garland.  There are a good number of line drawings, but paintings take the lion's share of those pages. There are 11 instances of the art spreading across the book's gutter, but only two are spoiled by doing so.  The husband and wife team employ a great deal of style diversity to match the breadth of included stories & myth surrounding the fantasy creatures.  The large art pieces are captioned with titles or a descriptive phrase.  The four chapters are: The Legends, Unicorns In The West, The Lion & The Unicorn, Unicorns In The East. A couple of the accompanying maidens are depicted semi-nude, but usually in some traditional style that is being mirrored.
