The Book of Halloween by Ruth E. Kelley

The Book of Halloween by Ruth Edna (R.E.) Kelley. Discover the history of Halloween, circa 1919!

Ruth Edna Kelley's THE BOOK OF HALLOWEEN was originally published in 1919 and is still a classic. I love the original blue and gold cover as seen here. A handsome addition to any home library.

"Halloween was once a day of mischief, oracles, ghost stories and fires: Kelley tells the history of Halloween from the perspective of the early 1900s United States.

Within the cover you will find a history of Halloween as Halloween was seen in the early 20th century. Beyond the history, you will learn about beliefs and customs held in countries like Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, France, Germany and even America. 

The book is a look into the back story of one of today’s biggest holidays. The original 1919 version is very difficult to find. I suggest looking on eBay by clicking right here though today when I looked there were modern copies but no antique ones but you never know when one might turn up! Otherwise, if you are willing to settle for the history, you can purchase a more modern copy of the book in paperback or of the eBook quite affordably on Amazon by clicking here.

Happy Haunting!
