Illustrated by
Jane Ray.
Dividing her selections into four categories--"Sky," "Sun," "Moon," and "Stars"--Hoffman offers myths, legends, and bits of folklore about the heavens. The brief tales come from around the world, including such countries as Japan, Australia, Latvia, and Egypt. They are accompanied by sumptuous illustrations, appropriately decorated with touches of silver and gold. Source notes are included.
