Halloween originated as a pagan festival marking the end of summer, on a
night when it was believed that evil spirits, witches and other dark
forces roamed the earth for a night. Today it is a time for all the
family to celebrate and for children to dress up in masks and costumes,
to venture forth in search of candy and excitement in a riotous medley
of pumpkins, trick-or-treating and other mischief. This gift book
provides a medley of seasonal delights for making the most of this
celebratory time of year.
