The Book of Hallowe'en by A M Ruth Edna Kelley
Since its original publication in 1919, Ruth Edna Kelley's THE BOK OF HALOWE'EN 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 poems, games and tried and true ancient methods for divining the future (especially for discovering the identity of one's future spouse ), THE BOK OF HALOWE'EN opens a captivating window into the past of one of today's most beloved holidays.
