Hunting unicorns is a wonderfully engaging romantic comedy set among the British aristocracy in decline. The patrician Bevan family clings to tradition while wrestling with taxes, tree blight, and family skeletons.

Believable characters and engaging story. A pleasant read.
reminded me a bit of the Cary Grant, Robert Mitchum & Deborah Kerr film "The Grass is Greener" from the early 60s.
