The umbrella title Ring of Unicorns was only imposed on the series for the 2005 Palindrome Publishing editions: it was not applied to the original two novels (now numbers one and two in the series) when they were first published in 1969 and 1974.
Although part of an overarching series, the books also fall into smaller, self-contained series: the first three form a trilogy, and the subsequent four are two connected duos.
The continuing story of the four Collard children around Canberra.
'It is 1977. There is much ado in the Nation’s Capital. Bureaucrats face extinction. You didn’t notice at the time? You weren’t alive back then? No matter. Read all about it here. Especially read, if you like unusual alliances, a touch of suspense, some nonsense and a good battle.'

'The Basilisk Trilogy finds itself with a sequel and a second generation of players. Finished mid-1998, the time was ripe for blind hope. Pack your wits, grab your hat. Sometimes a romp, sometimes a complex dance. For those who have forgotten fun and those who have had the good fortune always to remember it.'

'Choose this and :
'You will travel in the high middle ages when the world was flat.
'Your destinations will be exotic.
'Your transport will be multi-modal
'As you stalk royals, or infiltrate low life, your guides will be:
'a gryphon with a problem
'And
'A basilisk with attitude.
'You will be puzzled, shocked, delighted, touched, dismayed.
'Like those you observe, you will, at journey’s end, never be the same again.'

'A satirical romp with touching undertones set in a location that is undoubtedly odd. The bizarre economy is characterized by an absence of currency and an abundance of ideas. Contains some royals, not all in their right senses, and some odd language. As the verse says, this is one for young adults or adults young.'

'One for the quick witted. Contains a bonus Quest, rich food, challenging language, dance sequences, recycled and fictitious characters, unauthorized surveillance, rapid location changes, bold adventure and bridled passion. As the verse said, suitable for young adults and adults young. Stand-alone sequel to A Frozen Moment.'
