Vintage seasonal inspirations.

Halloween celebrations from the 1890s to the 1930s are considered the Golden Age of what is now the fastest-growing holiday in the country. This colorful book is a celebration in itself, a tribute to the mirthful and innocent revels of yesteryear presented with vintage photographs, decorative images, prose, and poetry. Recipes, games, costumes, party ideas, and decorations, along with excerpts from vintage periodicals, show the gaiety that epitomized historic Halloween celebrations with merry conviviality, vibrant imagery, and unbridled fun.
