The Truth about Jack-O-Lanterns (Truth about)

This is the third book in our series that reveals much about the life of seasonal heroes; the two previous volumes are The Truth About Snow People and The Truth About Easter Rabbits. We think we know Jack-O-Lanterns; they just sit on front porches with glowing and mysterious faces. In truth, there is far more to them than that. They are very different from one another, and some of them join our human Halloween festivities in a variety of ways. This book has been compiled by a diligent search through a century's worth of images, including postcards, calendar art, book illustrations, posters, window decorations, ephemera scraps, and more. Readers will admire Jack-O-Lanterns even more after reviewing the revelations in this book.
