  Unicorn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish him from a horse.
In heraldry, a unicorn is depicted as a horse with a goat's cloven hooves and beard, a lion's tail, and a slender, spiral horn on its forehead.
Claims that the so-called unicorn had only two legs (and was constructed from fossil bones of mammoths and other animals) are contradicted or explained by accounts that souvenir-seekers plundered the skeleton; these accounts further claim that, perhaps remarkably, the souvenir-hunters left the skull, with horn.

The Secret of the Unicorn was the first part of this adventure and deals with the part of the hunt often neglected by storytellers: the finding of the treasure map.
The first is the search for the three models of the Unicorn containing the clues for the treasure and the battle with other collectors: the mysterious Sakharine and the dangerous Bird brothers.
The second theme is one which, until the end of the book, seems totally unrelated: that of the investigation by the Thompsons into the recent increase in pickpocketing.
