And it has always required something more: genius, magic, a supreme gift. Professor Hunt in The Gift of the Unicorn binds the twothe craft and the giftunder a unifying light, showing both writer and reader the how and why and perhaps of good writing and of the writing that has gained, in Hunts words, the friendship of time and is called literature.Essays include: Beginning, The Web of Writing, The Telling, Spontaneity, Disciplined Writing, The Story, The People in the Book, Of Rules, Again, and Ending.
