“A sumptuous treasure-house in which the lover of ancient myth and modem miracle may wander for enchanted hours. Its red and gold doors open upon a gallery of masterpieces in art, all being inspired conceptions connected in some way with star lore. The pictures and the legends of all ages have been ransacked to make this gallery irresistible to art and nature lovers, and not in vain. Withal the most intense facts of astronomical knowledge and discovery are given beside the tapestried romance which earlier peoples wove with star-stufif as the medium of their art. It is a book delightful to the eye, scholarly in conception and treatment, and charming to the inner sense.”–Scientific American “Many of our amateur astronomers will find this book especially delightful. We not only like to know the names of the stars and something of celestial mechanics but also want to know the beautiful myths and legends that time and fancy have woven about them. People who admire the beauty of the stars may learn to love them by reason of the literary and legendary association recalled by their appearance. It has seemed but right that this wealth of star lore, buried in the treasury of the past, should be brought to the light, to charm and interest those who scan the skies. The same author has issued another volume entitled “Sun Lore of All Ages.” This is devoted to mythology, folk lore, sun worship, emblematic and symbolic forms of the sun and to the sun as revealed by science. Both books are valuable. They cover the entire field in a masterly manner.”–The Guide to Nature, 1915 ” Here all the myths, legends, and facts relating to all our northern constellations are set forth fully as well as with scientific exactness, are illustrated with clear maps and diagrams, and are brought into close association with their classic origins by beautifully reproduced photographs of works of art and architecture.”–The Outlook
