The Unicornskin Drum is an original folktale, spinning the stories of Saken the Knitter and Yendle the Singer, connected by a very special drum.

“A journey of grief, love, and longing, Bahin delivers a unique fairytale with such pitch perfect tone, it feels like discovering a lost classic. Beautifully done.” – Angela Readman

“Stella Bahin is a fine poet, and this book will be enjoyed by those who savour poetic prose. At one level, it is a fairytale, with unicorns, castles, and princesses, but at another level the story is a meditation on the pain of unrequited love. Throughout, the delicate imagery is balanced against a Game of Thrones-style darkness. It is the work of a writer who believes in her created world.” – Dave Swann
