About this audiobook

Master storyteller Jim Weiss takes listeners on a thrilling journey through the night sky, sharing the fascinating stories behind Orion, Taurus, and other constellations. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have told stories about the stars--tales of brave heroes, mysterious monsters, faithful friends, and epic journeys. From the Navajo to the Australian Aborigines, and from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the myths of ancient Greece, the pictures formed by the stars have helped us remember people of the past, guided us across oceans, and reminded us who we are--or who we could be. In this new recording, storyteller Jim Weiss brings the stories of the most famous constellations to a new generation.

and more!
