About this audiobook
The legendary medieval tapestry The Lady and the Unicorn is Sutherland Lyall’s starting point for this journey into the world of mythology and mystery which has been woven around the myth of the unicorn and the lady. We learn that the unicorn is the symbol for power and the lady may be mother, mistress or virgin. With an abundant collection of documents form a number of international museums, Lyall’s writing is an exciting exploration, a lively new examination, of old subjects. Who knows - perhaps he has finally sloved the mystery of The Lady and the Unicorn!
