Stories in the StarsAn Atlas of Constellations
Susanna Hislop;Illus. Hannah Waldron
The starry night sky has inspired countless stories, myths and legends, and this book – aimed at the imaginative stargazer – tells some of those tales through poems, prose, letters and other literary devices. From the sinful Cassiopeia to the wandering Ursa Major, each story is accompanied by a charming illustration and constellation map, including adjacent constellations, the ‘apparent magnitude’ or brightness of each star as seen from Earth, and a list of asterisms or corresponding names.
