Share the wonder of the stars and the night sky with this richly illustrated storybook collection featuring constellation myths from around the world.
For thousands of years people have looked up to the night sky and told stories about the stars. These epic myths tell of vengeful gods and goddesses, of monsters and heroes. Others try to make sense of the natural world, or to unravel the mysterious forces of the universe. This stunning storybook collection brings together 23 legends from around the world and from various cultures: from Ancient Greece to North America, Egypt, China, India, and the South Pacific. Written by award-winning author Anita Ganeri and with beautifully detailed artwork by illustrator Andy Wilx, this is a magical book to be treasured for generations to come. The perfect gift for any budding astrologer or astronomer and for anyone who loves gazing at the stars or reading about mythology.
Glossy paper, a large format and golden stars scattered throughout make Star Stories an especially evocative gift for young star explorers.—Melinda Greenblatt, Shelf Awareness for Readers
