Noted astronomer Patrick Moore was six years old when he began to take an interest in the starry skies. It is his wish that young readers will become interested enough in the sun and the moon and the stars that they will want to make a real hobby out of astronomy.
The Starry Sky series is Dr Moore's way of beginning that process. His clear, easy-to-read texts combine with the realistic painting of Paul Doherty not only to inform but, more important, to inspire the future astronomer.
