Halloween Books!
Here are the stories behind all of the well known and not so familiar symbols of Halloween. All of our holidays has its own familiar traditions. Trick or treating on Halloween, eating turkey on Thanksgiving, waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas and exchanging cards on Valentine’s Day. So where do all these customs come from, when did they start and why do we still observe them? In the engaging blend of extensive research and lively prose that has earned her books a permanent place on the holiday bookshelf, Edna Barth searches the multi-cultural origins and evolution of the well known and not so familiar symbols and legends associated with all our favorite holidays. Full of exciting historical details and little known stories, these books are both informative and engaging. Creatively illustrated by Ursula Arndt, they are now available once again in hardcover as well as paperback editions, featuring new eye catching jacket designs, and fun holiday activities inside the paperback covers. Each book includes an annotated list of holiday stories and poems and an index.
