THE BOOK OF HALLOWEEN ORIGIN remains the all-time classic exploration of Halloween history, from the mysterious year-end rites of the ancient Celts to the autumnal reign of Samhain, the Druid god of death, to the coming to Europe of Christianity and "All Saints Day," to the charming early 20th Century Halloween beliefs and customs of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, France, Germany, and America. Filled with Halloween poetry, games, and tried and tested old ways for divining the future (particularly for learning the identity of one's future spouse!), THE BOOK OF HALLOWEEN ORIGIN gives a compelling insight into the history of one of today's most celebrated holidays.
