5.0 out of 5 stars
A Spooky Good educational read!!!!!,
By Stacy Studstill (beowulf_lives@yahoo.com) (Spokane, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Saints, All Souls, and Halloween (World of Holidays) (Library Binding)
Catherine Chambers, does a marvelous job of tying all the origins of this superstitious holiday together in an entertaining format. It explains the birth of traditions of All Hallow's Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day in Europe, Latin America and the influences upon them in early North American culture. How a ritual of warding off evil spirits and the harbringers of the dark winter evolved into a festival of ghosts and goblins called Halloween! Find out how legitimate pranksters were appeased by the giving of treats during the holiday that soon became a well loved tradition. Overall, a great read for kids and adults as well!
