"The isolated west coast of Ireland, with its ancient dolmens and megaliths, great cliffs of black sandstone, dark coastline, killing sea, dangerous bogs, caves, and underground rivers, provides the compelling setting of The Unicorn. Although Murdoch eschews the term Gothic novel as being too narrow, five of her novels strongly emphasize Gothic motifs, and The Unicorn is among those that have received critical acclaim." (Literary Encyclopedia) Note: With few exceptions (always noted), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves.
