The Unicorn In Popular Culture

The Unicorn Daily News has returned from our sugar plum-induced holiday food coma to bring you the latest news about unicorns!

While your UDN reporters have certainly noticed a renewed interest in unicorns in popular culture, Matt Frassica, a reporter with the Louisville, Kentucky- based Courier-Journal, has also taken note of the unicorn's increasing popularity in an article appearing in today's edition of that newspaper. Mr. Frassica's report states that the "unicorn trend has ridden a sparkly rainbow into the mainstream," and cites the many unicorn-themed products on Etsy.com and unicorns' appearances on television shows and music videos as evidence of the unicorn's trendiness.

Honorary Unicorn: The Rare Single-Antlered Roe Deer

Our third featured "Honorary Unicorn" is the rare single-antlered roe deer. In 2008, Italian researchers reported the birth of a single-antlered deer. This young, male deer has a genetic abnormality that produced one antler, instead of the normal two. Interestingly, the antler is also located in the center of his head, resembling a unicorn! Some historians argue that this rare genetic occurrence in deer may be the origin of the unicorn myth!

Here it is, organized by type of gift recipient. Happy Holidays!

For the Reader
Everyone ought to have a copy of the classic unicorn story, The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.
If your giftee already has a copy of Beagle's book, then you might consider the new collection of unicorn and zombie short stories by various bestselling authors, in Zombies vs. Unicorns.

No kitchen is complete without unicorn cookie cutters, but there are lots of other great unicorn-themed kitchen accessories for every cook on your gift list: a unicorn cake mold, unicorn chocolate mold, and even unicorn corn holders!

For the History Buff

Check out The Unicornis Manuscripts, a collection of historical unicorn lore with beautiful illustrations.
Another great option is the Natural History of the Unicorn, in which the author, Chris Lavers, tracks down the roots of unicorn mythology and its evolution throughout time.

For the Artist

The Unicorn Tapestries, which are housed in the Cloisters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, are an awe-inducing work of art.  Help the artist on your gift list learn more about them with the The Unicorn Tapestries in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications), which includes scholarly explanations of the tapestries and their symbolism.

For the Movie Lover
Give the gift of a great unicorn movie for the holidays!  There are many DVDs to choose from, but a couple of our favorites are The Last Unicorn, an animated feature based on everyone's favorite book of the same name, and Legend starring Tom Cruise.
