This is an unusual book for those who are interested in the beauty and miracles of the starry sky. Having studied the works of ancient authors, Allen wrote an exciting story about how people of different cultures gave the names of constellations, how for many centuries they were described in literature and oral traditions, about what incredible associations caused stars among ancient peoples. The author told how the sunny and lunar zodiacs appeared, what is said about the stars in the Bible and other sacred books, in poetry and prose, and told about the appearance of images of constellations. Allen also dwells on astrology and describes how the future was predicted in the stars
