text: doesa anyone know this particular book? does anyone know this book? in the late 1980s i read a children's book to my grandmother in which a little girl who wore a unicorn necklace and was waiting to be adopted, met her uncle in monterey, california, actually got adopted by her uncle richard whose house had a fireplace in every room. but i don't recall the title, nor the author's name. can anyone help me, please?  i'd really appreciate the answer! seems to me the title might've been similar to another one. even i dont remember ....but i read in 1880s.....niether author nor book ......newayz ....was quite boring
