A Myth For Dragonflies is a heartwarming philosophical comedy set in the late 1790s, in the newly formed United States of America, a product of the Enlightenment, where ancient myths and sacred rites of passage have been abandoned for materialistic science and an unimaginative obsession with the mundane. We follow a father and son who have embarked on a dangerous quest. Although we, inheritors of the Enlightenment, claim to be finished with the sacred systems known to have ordered and unified human societies throughout history, these ancient rites of passage are not finished with us. As David Hume suggests in his Treatise On Human Nature (1739), nature has not left it up to men to abandon or to adopt such things. Myth is at the very heart of what it is to be human. There are no human beings without it. Myths are the fundamental stories we tell ourselves that provide the scaffolding on which we construct our collective sense of reality. Considering the natural life cycle of the dragonfly, and the insight into there being more to the universe than meets the eye, a new myth is suggested, which for our characters works to reset the stage on which the human drama can, and some will even say must, continue to unfold.

Does moss grow only on the north side of a tree? Is the North Star really the brightest star? Will a mother bird abandon its baby if you put it back in its nest? Will toads really give you warts? The Truth about Nature answers all of these questions and more. A useful compendium for parents and children to read together, The Truth About Nature sets the record straight on nature myths once and for all. It breaks down 144 everyday nature myths, identifying how true the myth really is, with the book’s unique “myth scale” (level 1 being somewhat true to level 3 being a complete myth). Organized by season and covering facts that are so strange that they must simply be false (but they’re true!), this interactive guidebook also offers readers the chance to do their own science experiments to bust a few myths on their own.
