10 visual stimuli,* the human ear responds to unicorn sounds -- even to those unicornian vibrations that are technically outside the range of one's hearing. This book weaves precious bits and pieces of evidence like a Celtic braid, gathering from a wide variety of sources: chronicles of yore, modern- day eyewitness accounts, oral histories and folk traditions, and, of course, myths and legends from around the world. These testaments are not intended to stand as scientific proof of unicorns. On the contrary, they paint a far grander picture than the tight rein of science can fabricate. It is the intention of this book to beguile your eardrums with the rhythmic hoofbeats, melodic whinnies, wistful sighs, and even bated breaths of the majestic unicorn. And when the book ends, its story will continue. For the final chapter of our saga will be yours to tell, based upon your own unforgettable first-hand experiences. * Teyke, Thomas and Stephanie Schaerer, "Blind Mexican Cave Fish (Astyanax Hubbsi) Respond to Moving Visual Stimuli," The Journal of Experimental Biology 188, 89 (1994)
