UNICORN MOON, at 42 pages with full-color illustrations, is a fairy tale with a modern twist on true love's meaning. A lonely princess dreams of a handsome prince in a land called Unicorn Moon. He is held captive by an evil hag's spell, which can be broken only by solving the riddle of true love's meaning. Using antique romantic symbols of princess, prince, and unicorn, the tale rejects the old happily-ever-after ending promising salvation by a prince charming's love. Unconsciously, that dream is just an immature wish for parenting - like being held prisoner by the witch-hag of the land of Unicorn Moon. So solving that hag's riddle of true love, is to say no - not yes - to false love's spell that love can save you from inner pain. Thus, no rejects childlike longing for love from dysfunctional parents. And yes embraces the adult's strength to heal childhood traumas to find inner strength to give love to another. The alternative to healthy true love is remaining in the grasp of the hag-parent and in unrequited hunting for rescue in the dream land of Unicorn Moon. Author and illustrator, GALE COOPER, is a Harvard educated, M.D. psychiatrist, who has written and illustrated other books on fantasy, animal anatomy, human interest, and Old West history.
