Description

Powerful and universal retellings of seventy-eight divine stories, legends, and myths from around the world, each accompanied by a gorgeous illustration from acclaimed artist Yoshi Yoshitani. Many of the lessons we learn are shared stories passed among cultures and generations. In this riveting collection of fables and folktales from cultures across the globe, characters from beloved fairytales, cultural fables, ancient mythologies, and inspirational deities are brought to life, including Sleeping Beauty (Italy), Rapunzel (Germany), Jack and the Beanstalk (England), Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico), Sun God Ra (Egypt), the Crane Wife (Japan), and dozens more. Lesser-known stories introduce characters such as the volcano goddess Pele from Hawaii; Mwindo, the wise and powerful king of the Nyanga people; and the strong and resilient Yennenga, mother of the Mossi people in Burkina Faso. The recurring themes of conquering evil, overcoming adversity, and finding love and companionship are woven throughout this collection. Yoshi Yoshitani's art style is fresh and unique, featuring diverse and multicultural characters. Each story features a lush and vibrant illustration. Read more

    • Kindle Version: Beneath the Moon: Fairy Tales, Myths, and Divine Stories from Around the World
I ordered a sample of the Kindle version first to see if the images looked good. They were beautiful (and large even though my Fire tablet isn't)! I then ordered the Tarot card deck as a gift but the recipient said that the images were too small to be seen clearly so the Kindle book would be a perfect companion! The colors complement each other well; they are stunning in both the book and deck of cards. The tales are quite interesting as well! These were extremely satisfactory purchases! Highly recommended! ... show more

    • Wonderful myths from around the world
I bought this book along with the tarot deck with the matching drawings. I love mythology and plan to use this book to read the "folklore" from other countries along with my grandchildren when they come to visit.

    • Gorgeous!
Gorgeous artwork, and every card has imagery from myths and legends around the world. The cards are great for beginner and experienced readers. Each card tells a story and has easily recognizable meaning and symbolism. The book that is included with the deck provides minimal information about the characters, symbols and meanings. I recommend getting the companion journal or the book "Beneath the Moon" which is the actual stories of th le myths and legends used for each card. ... show more

    • Great Book (though bizarrely organized)
I purchased the related tarot deck and loved the cards and though the included LWB hinted at the accompanying tales, I just had to get this book to find out the stories behind the fantastic art. I love having larger versions of the arts and knowing the full stories helps in both connecting with and reading the cards. The book is high quality with crisp printing on good paper. The stories in some cases are a bit succinct and some definitely could benefit from being drawn out more, as each story consists of just two pages (one for the art and one for the actual story) but it captures the essence of each fable well enough. My one major complaint (and the reason I deducted a star) is the stories are not arranged in the same sequence as the deck and seem to be in no particular order. Therefore, if using with the deck, looking up the story for the card(s) drawn is rather complicated. If one doesn’t immediately recognize the story portrayed on the card (many will probably be familiar but many more will not be so) they then must refer to the LWB (as the story is not referenced on the card by name) and then go find the “full” story in this book by using the index in the back where stories are listed by title and then turn to that page. This would have been so much easier if the stories were organized in the same manner as the deck. It is still though a very good purchase and necessary to fully appreciate the deck. ... show more

    • Beautiful!
I was unfamiliar with many of the myths and stories in this book, so it was very interesting to learn more about world mythology. Most importantly, the illustrations are amazingly beautiful to the extent that the book would be worthwhile even if the writing weren’t good. Happily, the writing is also very enjoyable. ... show more
