(4) 4-6 Seven myths (ancient Greek, Japanese, Navajo, Australian aboriginal, Maori, Kalahari San, and native Argentinian) explain the origin of the Milky Way. All the tales are short and accessible, but some are more interesting and have stronger story lines than others. Altogether, they provide a thought-provoking cross-cultural experience. The pencil illustrations are of varying quality. Bib., glos.
