The stars have accompanied humans since the beginning of time – and yet most of us struggle to spot even the Big Dipper in the sea of lights at night, let alone Taurus or Gemini. In this book, which has been available in the USA for over 50 years and can be found in every household, H. A. Rey shows us how we can not only recognise the constellations at first glance, but also find them again night after night. Once you have recognised with H. A. Rey how the good-natured Big Dipper curiously points its nose into the air, how the Twins hold hands and how Hercules swings his club, you will see the sky with different eyes forever.
