De Historia et Veritate Unicornis: On the History and Truth of Unicorns, by Michael Green Michael Green was an artist already well-known to me from his Middle-Earth blank journals. This is another of those fake true histories of mythological creatures that followed in the wake of “Gnomes”, full of faux ‘antiqued’ pictures and more lore than any of the old legends ever contained. One picture always impressed me, titled “Silva Broceliandensis” (The Forest of Broceliande). If it weren’t for this picture, I would probably sell this book. Contains one of those seek for a secret artifact hidden in the real-world quests. Ranking: Annoyingly Unsellable. File Code: Legend. Art. Softcover.

The Book of the Dragontooth, by Michael Green. A sequel to “De Historia et Veritate Unicornis”, this one talking about the unicorns’ ancient enemies, dragons. Has another real-world quest, this time for the Dragontooth. Ho-hum. If it wasn’t a sequel that I bought at discount I probably wouldn’t keep it. Fantasy illustrators probably shouldn't try to write fantasy, as a general rule, though there have been some fantasy authors who have been fairly good illustrators. Ranking: Expendable File Code: Art. Legend. Stupid Fantasy. Softcover.

Blank journals with pretty good Middle-Earth art. Ranking: Keepers. File Code: Blank Journal. Middle-Earth. Art.
