Title: Find a book that verifies its sources; this one is a bust.
Review: Two pages into the 1990 printing, the book speaks of Samhain, the Celtic Lord of the Dead. There was no such character in any Celtic pantheon; the word Samhain (pronounced roughly "sah-wen") actually means "summer's end." This old chestnut has been reputed extensively, something the author would do well to note as it is precisely this misinformation that has been used by many so zealots to condemn modern Halloween.With this egregious of an error in the opening pages, I have no faith that the rest of the book would hold up to scrutiny. Take a pass on this one and find a book that actually verifies its sources. Sure, the most recent edition has corrected this error, but I have little faith in the accuracy of the rest.
