Have you been hard-pressed, as an adult, to remember all the details of the myths and legends that make up our culture's collective unconscious? Did some of the allusions in Harry Potter, or Percy Jackson, or Tolkien's works ring some far-away bells, but you simply couldn't remember exactly what? Well, you are not alone! Bedtime Myths for Children of All Ages is a series meant not only to refresh our memory, but to recapture our first enjoyment of these timeless classics...as we read them alone or to the children in our lives.
With the popularity of the Harry Potter and, in particular, the Percy Jackson series, many children are thirsting for more, and asking for the "real" stories behind the modern novels that they enjoy so much. "Solar Stories" is a collection of four stories about the Sun, in one way or another. Like the Sun, we begin our journey in the East, with a myth (though some say legend) from ancient China, and we end in the West, with a popular myth from ancient Rome. Enjoy!
