Eve determinedly practices her spells, hoping she'll be able to magic up candy on her birthday, October 31st. During her dress-up birthday party, Eve's finest attempts yield only candy-shaped toys--such as candy bar blocks, candy cane whistles, and squeaky toy cakes. As her frustration grows, her party guests save the day by visiting all the pumpkins in the patch and collecting candy to fulfill Eve's wish. Overjoyed by their kindness, Eve gratefully offers the toys she created to her friends. A tale of friendship, cooperation, and self-acceptance, this story also provides health-conscious families and those with specific dietary concerns an alternative way to enjoy the holiday activities.
Book Synopsis The Book of Halloween by : Ruth Edna Kelley
Download or read book The Book of Halloween written by Ruth Edna Kelley and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SUN-WORSHIP. THE SOURCES OF HALLOWE'ENIf we could ask one of the old-world pagans whom he revered as his greatest gods, he would be sure to name among them the sun-god; calling him Apollo if he were a Greek; if an Egyptian, Horus or Osiris; if of Norway, Sol; if of Peru, Bochica. As the sun is the center of the physical universe, so all primitive peoples made it the hub about which their religion revolved, nearly always believing it a living person to whom they could say prayers and offer sacrifices, who directed their lives and destinies, and could even snatch men from earthly existence to dwell for a time with him, as it draws the[Pg 2] water from lakes and seas.In believing this they followed an instinct of all early peoples, a desire to make persons of the great powers of nature, such as the world of growing things, mountains and water, the sun, moon, and stars; and a wish for these gods they had made to take an interest in and be part of their daily life. The next step was making stories about them to account for what was seen; so arose myths and legends.

Book excerpt: A fictional tale about the origins of Halloween. Excerpt from the story: "The witch was overwhelmed with the majestic marvel’s pure power and, after years of pain and sorrow, she was finally cleansed by the same energy that once nurtured the forest. She began to radiate, and for a moment, she was able to feel love again. The light from the Harvest Moon lifted her body while filling her mind with wholesome memories of her caring family. Time ceased as the witch used her heightened magical ability to savor the moment. Her life in the forest flashed before her eyes, filling her spirit with hope and determination. She was reborn from the Harvest Moon, like a fiery phoenix resurrected by the sun."

Book Synopsis A Halloween Reader by : Bannatyne, Lesley Pratt
Download or read book A Halloween Reader written by Bannatyne, Lesley Pratt and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wondering how to entertain guests at your Halloween party this year? Why not recite a poem, tell a story, or present a parlor drama? A Halloween Reader is sure to add excitement to the celebration. This sourcebook of Halloween lore spans British, Irish, and American literature from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, from Robert Burns and Edgar Allan Poe to James Joyce and H. P. Lovecraft. Each of the poems, stories, and plays in this comprehensive anthology provides a link to Halloween celebrations of the past. "A Halloween Party," by Caroline Ticknor, is a humorous short story about a nineteenth-century New Yorker's first Halloween party. The macabre soliloquy from Sydney Dobell's Balder paints a dark, haunting picture of the hallowed eve. Robert Burns' "Halloween" gives a detailed description of the night of October 31 in eighteenth-century southwestern Scotland. The "Hallowoddities" section of the book includes witch-trial testimony, journal entries, and other spooky pieces related to Halloween. A Halloween Reader provides an overview of the holiday's roots and of how it has changed since it began in the British Isles more than one thousand years ago. In older literature, the dead are viewed as a supernatural evil, but one that can teach, predict, and warn, because they have seen the future that is hidden to us. In twentieth-century and current literature, however, the dead are portrayed as more humanly evil, returning as zombies to exact revenge or to otherwise terrorize the living. As Ms. Bannatyne says in her introduction, "The boundary between the vibrant world we live in and the underground world of worms is thin and brittle; it's only a matter of time. What makes the older Halloween literature so enthralling is that it lets us travel back and forth to the land of the dead without consequence."
