The Black Pearl: An Astrologer's Tale

If you'd like to know more about the signs of the zodiac without making any kind of study, this story will give you a rounded sense of the twelve and their interrelationships, as well as being an intriguing tale which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. In the same way that ancient Greeks and Romans weaved myths about the celestial bodies, this tale of trial and triumph weaves its way through the zodiac cycle, interpreting the natures and expressions of its twelve symbols in the form of a narrative. Aries, the black Ram, is trapped on the western boundary of his realm. He is set free by an earthquake and suffering from amnesia, sets out on an adventure during which much happens and much is learned. As we travel with him, we encounter his zodiac neighbours and discover that their realms are threatened with disaster too. Amid treachery and confusion, Aries unwittingly becomes involved in their rescue by solving the mystery of the Black Pearl.
