Synopsis

Most people consider Halloween to be a harmless occasion for children to wear costumes and collect candy. But there is more behind the holiday--both historical and spiritual--that you may want to consider before deciding how and if your children should participate.
In this book, you will learn about many traditions and superstitions associated with Halloween, including:

• Trick-or-treating and jack-o'-lanterns
• Black cats and owls
• Fortune-tellers and psychics
• Wicca and witches
• Ghouls and zombies

Join Diana Wallis Taylor in exploring the origins of Halloween customs and whether participating in the holiday is harmless fun or risky business.
