Comment: "The Unicorn Girl" is the second book in a peculiar trilogy. Aside
form being set in the hippie culture of the 1960's, each was written by
a different author.
In "The Butterfly Kid" Chester Anderson wrote about how he and
his "Sidekick" Michael Kurland saved the world from blue Crustacea
whose plan of conquest involved drugging the world into chaos.
"The Unicorn Girl" begins with a maiden in distress wandering
into the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco seeking someone to
help her find and rescue her missing unicorn. In a quest that I would
call vaguely reminiscent of Asprin's Myth Inc. books if it hadn't
preceded them by 8 to 10 years Kurland and his assistant Chester
Anderson once again save the world.
In "The Reality Pad", book 3 in the trilogy Tim Watters has
enlists the aid of Anderson and Kurland in the investigation of strange
happenings in a Manhattan apartment building and they find themselves
being transported through time and fiction. Once again the world is
threatened by fantasy and it falls to our hippie heroes to save it.
I doubt if you will be able to find any of these books. All are
out of print. I haven't seen a copy of "The Butterfly Kid" of "The
Unicorn Girl" in almost thirty years, and only managed to find a copy
of "Reality Pad" seven or eight years ago with a nation wide search of
libraries. I think even today "The Butterfly Kid" could be made into a
great movie. Perhaps even more today than thirty years ago.
