The Unicorn Alphabet

This hardcover edition of "The Unicorn Alphabet" is an ex-library copy with the usual markings, including a Denver Public Library sticker. The dust jacket is worn, with some edge wear and library-related tape marks. Despite these signs of use, the book's binding remains strong, and the pages are clean and vibrant, showcasing Michael Hague's stunning illustrations.

"The Unicorn Alphabet," authored by Marianna Mayer and beautifully illustrated by Michael Hague, was published by Dial Books in New York in 1989. This first edition hardcover features Mayer's engaging text paired with Hague's exquisite illustrations, bringing to life the enchanting world of unicorns through the alphabet. The book serves not only as a captivating journey into mythical lore but also as an educational tool for young readers exploring the alphabet. This edition is particularly notable for its detailed pen and ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations, which are color-separated and reproduced in full color, enhancing the visual allure of the text. While this copy is an ex-library edition, it remains a valuable piece for collectors of juvenile literature and those interested in Mayer's and Hague's collaborative works. The dust jacket shows signs of wear, typical of library use, but the book itself remains intact and ready to be cherished by a new reader.
