Résumé
Unicorn is an example of the survival of some legends. It has been studied quite often and has been inspiration for many poets. It was quite interesting trying to explain how difficult and long it was to establish that this animal did not exist, as well as to prove the absolutely useless therapeutic value of its horn.
