Engaging Tales of the Moon

This was a quite enjoyable read (and also a quick one). It consists of brief, but engaging, tellings of stories from around the world about the origins of the moon. Interestingly, the majority of them involve some kind of misfortune - sometimes bloody, sometimes just sad. Most of these stories would not be good bedtime reading for your small child, but they are interesting for older kids and adults. A very good book!
