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.
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.
This beautiful book is quickly becoming one of Detail’s best-sellers. Boasting a rich dark blue front cover, finished with silver embossing, it really does have a magical feel.
Book dimensions: 14.5 x 20cm, 192 pages.
