Behind the scenes of the creation of La Licorne, a fabulous vessel sailing on the ocean of our daydreams.
Tintin's eleventh adventure, The Secret of the Unicorn (1943) is a total success, combining the quality of the script with the virtuosity of the lines. This breathtaking saga, set against a backdrop of treasure hunting, is full of mystery and escapism. Hergé drew his three-masted ship freely from the fleet of the ‘Royale’ - Louis XIV's navy - and named it after a mythological animal. Yves Horeau, a passionate historian of this legendary vessel, reveals all the secrets of La Licorne.
Let's set off to discover this legendary ship in a richly illustrated book: over 300 illustrations (strips, colouring sheets, pencils, line drawings, plans, models, marine objects and paintings).
