Part of the ‘Myths and Legends’ collection, Andromeda originates from Greek mythology. She was a princess and daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Ethiopia. Cassiopeia angered the sea god Poseidon by boasting that her daughter was more beautiful than the sea nymphs. To punish Cassiopeia, Poseidon sent a sea monster, Cetus, to destroy the kingdom.
To appease Poseidon, Cepheus and Cassiopeia chained Andromeda to a rock by the sea as a sacrifice to the monster. However, Perseus – fresh from slaying Medusa – appeared and used her severed head to turn the sea monster to stone.
Perseus and Andromeda fell in love and enjoyed a happy marriage. In honour of their story, the gods placed Andromeda in the stars as a constellation. It is often associated with romance and love triumphing over adversity.
This A5 watercolour comes with its own carefully researched History Note detailing the story behind the constellation. As Andromeda is closely associated with romance and love, she would make the perfect gift for a partner or a couple.
In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the proud queen of Aethiopia, who dared to proclaim that she and her daughter, Andromeda, were as beautiful as the sea nymphs themselves.
Angered by her boldness, Poseidon condemned her to the heavens, where she circles the north celestial pole for all eternity. Half the year she hangs upside down in a gesture meant to humble her, yet Cassiopeia remains seated upon her throne, still radiant, still unbowed, still brushing her hair.
Though the gods sought to silence her pride, she endures as a symbol of feminine strength and self-worth — a queen who would not dim her own light or that of her daughter’s.
Cassiopeia is best seen between late September and December from the northern hemisphere and the north of the southern hemisphere.
This A5 watercolour comes with its own carefully researched History Note detailing the story behind the constellation. As Cassiopeia is closely associated with feminine self-worth and pride, she would make the perfect gift for any strong women in your life.
Canis Major, which means ‘greater dog’ in Latin is said to be Laelaps, the loyal guard dog of Orion. Known as the fastest dog in the world, Laelaps caught everything he hunted.
One day, King Cephalus sent it after the Teumissian fox, a mythical animal known for being impossible to catch. The two chased each other for years and once Zeus realised there was no end in sight, he placed them in the sky to continue their competition for the rest of eternity.
Canis Major is home to Sirius, the birghtest star in the sky and is located within the southern hemisphere. It is best seen betwen late December and March from almost everywhere on Earth.
This A5 watercolour comes with its own carefully researched History Note detailing the story behind the constellation. As Canis Major is closely associated with loyalty and competition, he would make the perfect gift for a dog-lover or someone with a competitive nature.

In a world where there is more to read, watch, and absorb than any of us will ever be able to process in our lifetime, why should you spend time learning to identify a smattering of stars in the sky? Why should an old pattern drawn between barely-there points of light above us mean anything to a busy person with a mortgage, a long to-do list and a phone that never seems to stop demanding attention?
These are all fair questions. And if you’ll allow me to steal away a few precious minutes of your day, I’d like to answer them.
