Praise for The Transfigured Hart

“The mythology of unicorns is cleverly interwoven with the modern elements. This, combined with a strikingly beautiful and simple style, leave the reader with the feeling of having experienced something magical. And the real magic lies in the mastery of Yolen's storytelling.”
—SF Site

“With compelling descriptions of the forest, nature, and the animal in question, this book took me on a short journey into imagination and even left me wondering if those kids hadn’t indeed seen a unicorn.”
—Families.com

“I was delighted by Yolen’s brevity and lyricism, two devices that are often at loggerheads but that Yolen marries effortlessly. . . the subtlety of the magic, and  . . . Yolen sets a precedent for the power of belief (“Believing. It takes practice” [Yolen, 65]), so that when the reader arrives at the fantastical climax, they rely on their power of belief to carry them through the magic.”
