Young Tales of the Old Cosmos

By Rhys Hughes

A quartet of celestial stories about the troubles and triumphs of the planets, moons, stars and galaxies, all of which turn out to be sentient and sensitive living beings. Yes, the heavenly objects have feelings too and they find life just as bewildering as human beings do. When Pluto is officially demoted from a true planet to a dwarf planet; when the poor moon is infested with clowns; when Betelgeux falls in love with other red giants; when the Milky Way wants to make friends... that's the time they most need our sympathy and support. Come and see how all these issues and others are resolved, courtesy of cult writer Rhys Hughes...
