The Mysterious Universe by Robin Kerrod, published by Lerner Publications Company in 1980, is a revised edition of a work first copyrighted in 1978. This hardcover edition features contributions from several illustrators, including Max Ansell and John Marshall, who also designed the cover. Aimed at young readers, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to astronomy, exploring questions about the universe, stars, planets, and galaxies. This edition is part of the "Question and Answer Books" series, designed to engage juvenile audiences with its accessible language and vivid illustrations. The book is an ex-library copy, as indicated by the library stamp, and offers a glimpse into the cosmos for budding astronomers. The absence of a dust jacket and visible wear suggest it has been well-used, yet it remains a valuable educational resource.
