Celebrations honoring the winter solstice as a moment of transition and renewal date back thousands of years and occur among many peoples on every continent. "The Return of the Light makes an ideal companion for everyone who carries on this tradition, no matter what their faith. Storyteller Carolyn McVickar Edwards retells twelve traditional tales -- from North America, China, Scandinavia, India, Africa, South America, Europe, and Polynesia -- that honor this magical moment. These are stories that will renew our wonder of the miracle of rebirth and the power of transition from darkness into light. | |
