HALLOWEEN, WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Story about everything to do with Halloween from a person who was raised a Catholic.
Starts with the name and then where it came from, along with other country traditions of the day.
Not only discusses the color but costumes and even has games and recipes.
Recipes seem foreign to me as I am not familiar with Muscovado sugar and sultanas Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.

This well written little book about Halloween was very interesting and informative. Although I have celebrated Halloween more than fifty times in my lifetime, I learned a few things by reading this book. I didn't know that the proper spelling is Hallow-e'-en and the word is actually the shortened version of All Hollow-Evening. The history of Halloween was very interesting to read about. The holiday does have some links to Christianity, although many people refer to it as "The Devil's Holiday". Hallowed is actually a Bible word. Also included in the book are games, costumes, activities, and pumpkin carving ideas. The recipe section at the end of the book was interesting. I have never tasted pumpkin soup, but it sounds delicious. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about the history of Halloween. This short book would be a good resource for teachers or parents wishing to share the background of Halloween with youngsters.… (plus d'informations)
