Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies
**Following on from the hugely popular _Treasury of Folklore: Seas_ _and Rivers_ and _Woodlands and Forests_ comes _Treasury of Folklore:_ _Stars and Skies,_ an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.** People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown. Under âStars and Heavensâ Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on âSkiesâ we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. _Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies_ is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound. Hardback.
