has learned and grown a lot since then, so it doesn't affect you like it used to. Still, I have a lot of love for this book. I was kind of amazed that I loved it that much as a kid, since the stories/poems are pretty advanced and open-ended/vague rather than having happy, tidy endings, and I was a lot less used to sad, philosophical stories back than than I am now. Beautiful writing and illustrations; highly recommended for unicorn and/or fantasy fans. Show Less
