Games for Hallow-e'en - Kindle Non-Fiction

Games for Hallow-e'en 
by Mary E. Blain 

It's quite interesting from a historical or anthropological/cultural perspective; there are a lot of game ideas - mostly being of the "general" type - that is, not specifically geared towards Halloween. But there are some seasonal games of fortune-telling/divining and some chaste "kissing games." I find all these games fascinating, and I'm sure that most of them are largely lost from our collective societal memory, so it's nice to have them here as a record. There are also decorating, food, party invitation ideas, etc., and it does contain a section with some cute, and probably also mostly forgotten jokes (more like puzzlers), which are worth a gander. They are not the silly jokes kids tell today, but much more serious or "straight". Example: Why is a watch like a river? --Because it doesn't run long without winding. What is the difference between a schoolmaster and an engine-driver? --One minds the train and the other trains the mind.

So, if you're looking for a real hands-on practical guide for Halloween ideas to use now, this is not it. The suggestions here, in terms of what 21st century Halloween aficionados would expect, are very primitive and are what modern folks would consider the basic minimum, no brain-er type of decorating and party food ideas.
