“What a beautiful book it is! A treasured possession.” —Mary Beard
“No astronomy book can claim to be as beautiful as the night sky, but Stories in the Stars comes closest! I’m learning something new every day and having a lot of fun in the process.” —Tristan Gooley, The Natural Navigator
“Writer and astronomy lover Hislop explores all 88 constellations and artfully tells their stories in this singular book. . . . Hislop’s narratives are absorbing and often humorous. . . . Waldron’s illustrations are simple yet striking, a perfect complement to the delightful written pieces. While not an atlas in the literal sense, this book is a fun and fascinating examination of the cosmos. This accessible and engrossing title is recommended for those interested in astronomy, mythology, art, or history.” —Library Journal
