I was first attracted to this book's cover as an 11-year old in a used book store. It portrays a lady in a flower field startled by a black unicorn. I read it and became emotionally attached to the characters, and it became my favorite novel. I have re-read it several times over the years, and eventually was fortunate enough to find the sequel, "Daughter of Destiny", in another used bookstore (though this book can be stand-alone). I even used "The Unicorn Dancer" for my college admission essay, wherein they asked you to write about a hero or heroine of yours, and I chose Alorie. She and the other characters are realistic yet fantastic enough to be entertaining, memorable, and inspiring. I highly recommend this book, especially to younger people interested in Fantasy/Sci-Fi. It is still one of my favs after all these years, despite all the other novels of the same genre I've read. Bring it back in print!
this book should have never gone out of print!

the unicorn dancer is a prose type fantasy. its abotu a girl named alorie seeking revenge for the deaths of her father and grandfather. the only way to do that is to find a unicorn, but the question is where? there are many memorable characters in her story including rowan, brock, vella and pich, not to mention marshall her dog!
Nice tale for a young girl...

As a beginning novel for a young person (especially a girl) with an interest in fantasy/si-fi, this is a quaint little ditty.
