They nearly fall foul of a singing mermaid as well. had B&W illustrations and each chapter introduced a new creature. please help!

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende? It's years since I read it, so I can't say definitely. I have the German edition sitting on my coffee table, but haven't been in the mood for tackling that lately.

No thats not it, thanks anyway!

Too--a brief suggestion--you might want to move this down to the UNSOLVED folder, since I'm sure more people would look at it there. I only clicked on this accidently.

I've read so many unicorn books and this just doesn't ring a bell. If you find out let me know.

I've no doubt that there are Listopias that are tagged 'unicorn' if anyone wants to dig through those.

Toosoontom, are you still looking for this book?
