The Return of the Light

By 

Carolyn McVickar Edwards

Celebrate The Return Of The Sun, The Return Of The Light

The winter solstice, the day the "sun stands still," marks the longest night and the shortest day of the year (it usually occurs on either December 20 or 21). Cele-brations honoring the winter as solstice as a moment of transition and renewal date back thousands of years and occur among many peoples on every continent. Now The Return of The Light makes an ideal companion for everyone who carries on this tradition, no matter what their faith. Storyteller Carolyn McVickar Edwards retells twelve traditional tales- from North America, China, Scandinavia, India, Africa, South America, Europe and Polynesia- that honor this magical moment. These are stories that will renew our wonder of the miracle of rebirth and the power of transition from darkness to light.
