If you are looking for a book on the constellations you will be extremely disappointed. In the next to the last page of the introduction the author states that.He claims to know the stories behind the constellations. This is only partially true. The illustrations are the only thing that I enjoyed about this book, and the publisher has some of the larger ones made useless by not providing fold out pages for them. The book is neither an atlas nor are the stories that good either.
Lo creas o no, tanto tú como yo estamos hechos de las historias en las estrellas. La escritora Susanna Hislop y la ilustradora Hannah Waldron nos guían por los siglos y las culturas para contarnos todas esas historias, las de las ochenta y ocho constelaciones que componen el cielo nocturno. Una lectura maravillosa y un libro bello como la propia noche.
