A new book in "The Little Book of..." series. This particular book is a tribute to our wonderful satellite, which is essential for life. With marvelous illustrations from the early 20th century, this book answers: How was the Moon born?
What are its seas called? What colors does it have? What influence does it have on plants? What is a gibbous Moon? Are there mountains on the Moon? How far is the Earth from its satellite? Who drew the first map of the Moon? How does it affect our mood? What legends does it hide? What is its far side like?
Do you know any poems about the Moon? This little book, illustrated with beautiful antique postcards, covers all aspects of the Moon: scientific, literary, artistic, and poetic.
