The Moon Woman and the Sun Woman

Eleanor Sommer
The Moon Woman and the Sun Woman

Once upon a time, both the sun and the moon were women; this, however, has been forgotten long ago. They didn‘t live in the sky then, but just above Earth. One only had to lift one‘s head a bit to be able to converse with them.

They liked to play with children most of all as children often visited them in the sky. One day though, a grown up came to visit, someone with a soul darker than the darkest of nights …

In dreamlike pictures, Eleanor Sommer tells this story based on the traditional Chinese folktale of the Moon Woman and the Sun Woman.
