I don’t know about you but there is a part of me that, when I’m watching Lord of the Rings, wants Middle Earth to be real and the good guys to be like Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom and the bad guys to be easily identifiable because they’re so damn ugly.

However, the woodland is also populated by other mythical creatures including two very beautiful unicorns. Jack takes Lily into the woodland to see the unicorns but the impetuous Lily decides to pet one of them, giving the villains of the piece a chance to kill it ...  Read the complete review
