Folk tales about the sun, moon, planets and constellations

'Janet Dowling is magic and her stories bring the wonders of the night sky onto the page. She has journeyed from Polar ice to Pacific islands in search of tales which will re-enchant the heavens under which we all live and which so many of us forget.' - Jeremy Harte, The Folklore Society

Discover the Greek myths that are laid before you in the stars. Explore the folk tales of other cultures that have their own stories of the stars to guide the ancients in planting, navigating, and knowing when the beasts migrate across the plains.

Start your own adventure to answer the question 'Whose constellation is it anyway?' in this compelling collection of folk tales of the night sky.

Janet Dowling has been a professional storyteller for almost 20 years, researching and telling stories to audiences across the world. She is a member of the Norman Locker Observatory where she helps in the planetarium, as well as telling stories of the stars which aids star constellation recognition. She has performed 'Lust and Revenge; passion of the night skies' around the UK as well as her family friendly show 'The other night sky', which tells tales from other cultures. Janet lives in Sidmouth and this is her third title for The History Press.
