- More about The Most Famous Rhinoceros
Princess Beatrix receives a one-horned creature as a gift from the King of Portugal, but it turns out to be a rhinoceros named Genda from India.

Princess Beatrix eagerly awaits the arrival of the extraordinary one-horned creature, graciously bestowed upon her father, the King of Portugal. Speculation arises as to whether this magnificent creature could be none other than a unicorn? However, the truth reveals itself to be far more captivating. The new arrival is a rhinoceros named Genda, hailing from the distant lands of India. Beatrix's heart swells with affection upon meeting this magnificent creature, and an immediate bond forms between them. She assumes the role of Genda's friend and protector, determined to convince her father, the King, that this wild creature deserves to return to its natural habitat in the jungle.
This poignant tale draws inspiration from the actual rhinoceros depicted in 1515 by the renowned artist Albrecht Dürer in his renowned woodcut, which remains a testament to human artistic brilliance even to this day. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a kingdom filled with wonder and intrigue, where the bond between a princess and a rhinoceros transcends the boundaries of species and captures the hearts of all who witness their extraordinary journey.
