Among the collections in Marsh's Library, we find many books covered with annotations, to-do lists, ownership marks, family histories, drawings, and random doodles. This 48-page catalogue, including 33 colour images of all the items in exhibition, contains books with annotations by Jonathan Swift, the poet John Donne, and the Elizabethan mathematician John Dee. Some marginalia were serious pieces of scholarship in their own right, but others (including the sketches of a unicorn and a fencing mouse which suggested the title for the exhibition) were the result of day-dreaming or love-sickness.
