People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia: trading stories, conjuring gods and goddesses, mapping the constellations and navigating the world below. The tales, traditions and myths in this book are drawn from across civilizations and continents, and include the hubris of Icarus, the omens of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina, the legend of the rabbit in the moon, the trials of the Firebird, the Witch of Westray, and even UFOs.
