Nineteen year old Rowan Berryman who was sure she saw a unicorn when she was twelve, wanders the woods rescuing sick or injured animals and birds, comes upon Tom fishing. He finds that he can relate to her as she is shy and quiet. When she tells him about the unicorn he admits he has seen a very strange looking deer too. Rowan is under pressure from her father to marry Bill Wilkins a local widower whom she dislikes. Bill attacks her in the woods and Tom comes to her aid. She later realizes she is in love with him. Tom has forgotten that he married before the war and doesn't know he is a father. When Ruth his wife comes looking for him bringing his little son Peter, there is a terrible storm and Ruth is killed beneath falling masonry.

Later he goes to stay with Janet, taking care of his son while Rowan heart-broken and under pressure from her father and Bill runs away to Meg Thornton the woman who took care of the Penry's when they were on the run.

Book Synopsis The Mythic Chinese Unicorn by : Jeannie Thomas Parker
Download or read book The Mythic Chinese Unicorn written by Jeannie Thomas Parker and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in the English language to explore the origin and significance of the mythic Chinese unicorn and its influence on later unicorn myths. It proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Chinese unicorn was not the qilin, but a one-horned female goat-like beast called the zhi (pronounced jhuhr). It also examines the real animals upon which the myth was based. Its most significant finding, however, is that the unicorn zhi was the ultimate symbol of justice under the law in ancient China. Making judicious use of all available evidence, historical, epigraphical, archaeological, art historical and scientific, this book explains how the myth of the unicorn began in China and then gradually spread to other parts of Asia and Europe.

All in a quest's work for a girl who can magically do anything she can convince her power is housework. To reward Maggie, the king makes her a princess, and therefore a good catch for the local noble bachelors. Only problem is, she doesn't want to get married. She wants to be with Moonshine, whose Unicorn Creed, as he understands it, forbids him to consort with anyone except a chaste maiden. It's rather a touchy situation, and so Princess Maggie abandons her crown and with Moonshine, she and Colin set out to see if they can find a loophole in Moonshine's creed. Of course, in the process they have to try to save the land of Argonia again, this time from a were-man, a revolutionary nymph, a town's worth of zombies, an ice worm and an evil wizard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giles Questing, an undergraduate student at the University of Oxford, finds his life taking an unexpected turn after the suspicious death of a PhD student, a death the police believe to be suicide. He determines to solve the mystery by following a trail of artworks that depict a unicorn. Travelling to museums and galleries, he gradually discovers the truth about whether the student has taken his own life or been murdered, and who – if anyone – is guilty. His quest immerses him in the world of the unicorn in medieval and Renaissance art, and introduces him to the present-day obsession with the unicorn in the media, advertising, and social networks. All this enables him to crack the code of the unicorn that has been buried in the tradition of the Christian church for many years, and to answer the questions he has about a death that deeply affects him personally and that finally threatens his own life.

Each common name is accompanied by a definitive scientific name with references and authority information. Interspersed with scientifically-correct botanical line drawings, the entries are written in standard ICBN format, making this a useful volume for scholars as well as lay enthusiasts alike. Volume 2 indexes the scientific names of those species, followed by listings of all the common names applied to them. Both volumes refer the common and scientific names back to a list of 190 pertinent authoritative sources.
