The winter solstice, the day the "sun stands still," marks the
longest night and the shortest day of the year, and it comes either
on December 20th or 21st. Celebrations honoring the winter solstice
as a moment of transition and renewal date back thousands of years
and occur among many peoples on every continent. 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 into light.
