The Story of Halloween by Carol Greene, illus. by Linda Bronson, explains the myriad traditions that helped shape the holiday as we know it, beginning with ancient Celtic and Roman harvest rites then moving on to the tricks, lanterns and disguises first popular in the British Isles that made their way to America.
