Περιγραφή για The Little Book of Horrors: A Celebration of the Spookiest Night of the Year Orange Hippo! OH

Halloween is a very special time of year and takes on huge significance for a vast number of people in different ways. For many, it\'s a chance to dress up, wander the streets for a trick or treat session, gorge on candy and have a party, whereas for others it is a time of remembrance, of visits to ancestors\' graves, or prayers at this holy time.But what are the real origins and meanings of this festival that\'s commonly associated with darkness, witches, ghosts and ghouls? The oldest known Halloween celebration was the Celtic Samhain, a time when the souls and spirits of the dead would find it easiest to return to visit the living. Food was offered to keep the spirits happy and eventually the festival was formalised by the church as a time of remembrance in advance of All Saints Day.This fun little guide looks at the history of all things Halloween, from the earliest feasts and customs to the latest fun and games that are common around the world. We delve into the meanings of many of the symbols of Halloween, like pumpkins, black cats, apples, witches and ghosts, and examine the many different ways people celebrate around the world. There is plenty of fun stuff too: freaky facts, scary poems, classic candy, spooky songs, stunning stats, horror film suggestions and all manner of puns, jokes and sayings all relating to the creepiest day of the year.SAMPLE QUOTE: \'Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, \"Never take candy from strangers.\" And then they dressed me up and said, \"Go beg for it.\"\' - Rita Rudner Σελίδες: 192, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0920, Διαστάσεις: 11.4x11.4cm
