No One beast has so captured people's imagination as the mysterious unicorn. Inspired by the medieval Unicorn Tapestries, Marianna Mayer has uncovered a wealth of love and legend associated with this fascinating creature, certain to delight his legion of fans. From A for apple-the fruit of knowledge and, like the unicorn, the symbol of ever-renewing life-to Z for zephyr, the gentle breeze that ruffles the unicorn's mane, this unique collection offers page after page of beautiful flowers, fair knights, proud maidens, magical herbs, and sinister serpents-all part of the unicorn's powerful myth. As he did in "The Unicorn and the Lake," Michael Hague has brought these enchanting legends to life, along with the splendor of medieval courts and the magic of a time when unicorns were real.

The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation’s history: on this single day, the battle claimed nearly 23,000 casualties.

Combining brilliant military analysis with narrative history of enormous power, Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on this climactic and bitter struggle.
