Publisher's Synopsis

Cosmic secrets in children's classics. This book tells for the first time how Ice Age peoples accurately predicted solstices and eclipses and how these secrets were hidden in stories and myths. Today, solstices and eclipses can be found in the answers to these questions: Who is Mother Goose?; Why are there seven dwarfs?; Why do witches ride on brooms?; Why does Santa slide down chimneys?; What is the meaning of Cinderella's shoe?; Why does Little Red Riding Hood wear red?; Why do children bob for apples at Halloween? and more.
