Since its original publication in 1919, Ruth Edna Kelley's THE BOOK OF HALLOWE'EN remains the all-time classic exploration of Halloween history, from the mysterious year-end rites of the ancient Celts to the autumnal reign of Samhain, the Druid god of death, to the coming to Europe of Christianity and "All Saints Day," to the charming early 20th Century Halloween beliefs and customs of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, France, Germany, and America.The preface of this book is intended to give the reader an account of the origin and history of Hallowe'en, how it absorbed some customs belonging to other days in the year,—such as May Day, Midsummer, and Christmas. The context is illustrated by selections from ancient and modern poetry and prose, related to Hallowe'en ideas.
