Return of the Light Twelve Tales from Around the World for the Winter Solstice

Celebrating the solstices -- particularly the moment of the sun's return at midwinter, on December 21 -- is a nearly universal human urge, one that dates back thousands of years and has been identified in a wide variety of cultures. Now The Return of the Light makes an ideal companion for all who carry on this tradition, no matter what their faith. Twelve stories -- from North America, China, Scandinavia, India, Africa, South America, Europe, and Polynesia -- honor this moment, helping to renew our wonder of the miracle of rebirth and the power of transition from darkness into light.Edwards, Carolyn McVickar is the author of 'Return of the Light Twelve Tales from Around the World for the Winter Solstice' with ISBN 9781569246177 and ISBN 1569246173.
