ABOUT THE BOOK AROUND THE SUN
Discover the universal allure of the hero’s journey captured in these global folktales, powerfully retold and gorgeously illustrated by the author and artist behind Tarot of the Divine and Beneath the Moon
Around the Sun is a storybook comprised of twelve beautifully illustrated folktales from all around the world and across time, each featuring classic tropes such as a Hero, a Challenge, an Advisor, and a Desire. Among the legends and myths included is the story of Innana, the Sumerian goddess of war and desire who sought to extend her earthly power to the underworld; the Cochiti tale from New Mexico about a young weaver caring for her elderly parents and the coyote who wins her affection; the Indonesian lore from East Java about Panji Semirang, the beautiful princess turned fierce bandit; and more. For an additional layer of depth, background information on iconic recurring symbols, objects, and mythical tokens--such as The Mirror, The Magic Skin, and The World Tree--is interspersed throughout.
Yoshi Yoshitani's art style is dynamic and vibrant, featuring diverse and multicultural characters. Readers will be transported by Around the Sun's lush artistic details and gripping mythologies.
