The Picture Book of Stars

»When the earth had just been created and the ground was still very soft, there were neither valleys nor hills nor mountains. Only giants existed; with mighty steps they walked across the land.« Ancient sagas and legends from Greece, India, the Near and Far East and other parts of the world tell us the stories of how our stars came into being. Of the girl who married the grizzly bear and turned into a bear, of the twin children who fled from their mother, or the ram on Noah’s Ark: »This is how the stars came into being; they dispelled the great darkness, and through their openings the inner light of heaven shone.«
