Reader's note

A 1980 edition of Origins of Festivals and Feasts by Jean Harrowven. Do you know the true meaning of Hogmanay or what Hallowe'en stood for in days gone by? When did Father Christmas first appear on the commercial scene and how old is April Fool's Day? This book has recorded in a lovely and readable manner, the customs, superstitions, games and recipes which our ancestors observed and delighted in. In addition to relating the history of such festivals the author describes games that were played traditionally at these times and suggests that today's children might enjoy them too. An exciting informative book, read on!
