Here's part of the content - you would like to know it all? Delve into this book today!..... : Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of its original title All Hallows' Even), also known as All Hallows' Eve, is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the Western Christian feast of All Hallows.
... Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as guising), attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films, as well as the religious observances of praying, fasting and attending vigils or church services.
... In Scotland and Ireland, Guising - children disguised in costume going from door to door for food or coins - is a traditional Halloween custom, and is recorded in Scotland at Halloween in 1895 where masqueraders in disguise carrying lanterns made out of scooped out turnips, visit homes to be rewarded with cakes, fruit and money.
...The editor of a collection of over 3,000 vintage Halloween postcards writes, There are cards which mention the custom [of trick-or-treating] or show children in costumes at the doors, but as far as we can tell they were printed later than the 1920s and more than likely even the 1930s.
There is absolutely nothing that isn't thoroughly covered in the book. It is straightforward, and does an excellent job of explaining all about Halloween in key topics and material. There is no reason to invest in any other materials to learn about Halloween. You'll understand it all.
