The Book of Hallowe’en by Ruth Edna Kelley was published for first time in Boston, Massachussets, in 1919 and no one could imagine that it was destinated to become an international best seller, published in many countries and translated in many languages until the present days.Ruth Edna Kelley, born in 1893 in Lynn, Massachussets, was only twenty-six years old when wrote The Book of Hallowe’en, an essay stood alone as one of the only serious scholarly works on the subject of Halloween for over seventy years as the preminent source on the meanings and traditions behind one of the most ancient and popular celebrations of all the western world.

Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", which is now also known as All Saints' Day. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several parts of the Western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia and New Zealand.
