The Unicorn Sonata?
No, but it is by the same author - The Unicorn Sonata is a very recent book - he didn't write about unicorns again for almost 20 years, and then said he was now ready to re-visit them, and out of that came that sweet book and a truly wonderful story called "Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros" - which I even have on my computer, so if anyone wants to read it I can send it over.
