DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Topaz Story Book: Stories and Legends of Autumn, Hallowe'en, and Thanksgiving Nature stories, legends, and poems appeal to the young reader's interest in various ways. Some of them suggest or reveal certain facts which stimulate a spirit of investigation and attract the child's attention to the beauty and mystery of the world. Others serve an excellent purpose by quickening his sense of humour. Seedtime and harvest have always been seasons of absorbing interest and have furnished the story-teller with rich themes. The selection in "The Emerald Story Book" emphasize the hope and premise of the spring; the stories, legends, and poems in this volume, "The Topaz Story Book," express the joy and blessing which attend the harvest-time when the fields are rich in golden grain and the orchard boughs bend low with mellow fruit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe concept of Halloween as a holiday and cultural phenomenon worthy of serious study is only a few decades old, and only since the mid-1980s have scholars started to accept that Halloween's place in modern society (especially in American society) merits attention beyond horror fiction and children's books. The first book devoted solely to Halloween was published just over a century ago, and now, Halloween has its own encyclopedia. Major entries include Samhain, the Celtic ancestor of Halloween; witches, a major Christian addition to the mythology of Halloween and one that still generates interest and controversy; skeletons, a universally recognized symbol of death; the Day of the Dead, the Mexican holiday that is often compared to Halloween; the jack-o'-lantern, which has its roots in folktales starring the rascally Jack who always manages somehow to beat the Devil; and trick-or-treating, the most loved and misunderstood American Halloween ritual. Hundreds of small entries cover Halloween history and mythology, fortune-telling lore, harvest legends, and 20th century additions to the holiday's rituals.
