For thousands of years, people have looked up to the night sky and told stories about the stars. These epic tales tell of vengeful gods and brave heroes, while others try to make sense of the natural world, or unravel the mysterious forces of the universe. Illustrated throughout with Andy Wilx's dramatic paintings, this stunning book brings together 23 of these legends from all over the world, from ancient Greece's tales of Hercules, Pegasus, and the Golden Fleece, to myths from North America, Egypt, China, India, and the South Pacific.
