Once upon a starry night: heroes and gods of the constellations

Here are the stories of 10 great constellations - from Persons to Hercules, including Pegasus, Argo, Andromeda and Cassiopeia. Jacqueline Mitton sets contemporary fact against ancient legend; and Christina Balit portrays each constellation in loving detail.

Drawing on the eternal lure of the universe, this makes an exciting introduction to the figures dominating our night sky.
