Book Synopsis



Headless horsemen, ugly witches, devils, and demons -- these frightful Halloween symbols have captured the imagination of young and old alike for generations.

Bringing a fairy-tale quality to the holiday, these vintage cards (many with charming rhymes) recall the romantic nature of long-ago Halloweens with festive scenes of kids and cats, witches and bats, jack-o'-lanterns, fortune-telling, pranks, and white-sheeted ghosts.
Exhibiting the meticulous detail so highly prized among today's collectors, the 24 full-color cards in this captivating collection include now-rare illustrations by two popular artists of the period: Ellen Clapsaddle (1865-1934) and Frances Brundage (1854-1937), whose rosy-cheeked and startled youngsters became their trademarks.
Perfect for sharing warm thoughts of friendship during a magical night, these easily detachable cards are sure to please youngsters of all ages.

These postcards are so stinkin’ cute!! They come in a book so you tear them out to use them. The front are glossy and the back is regular paper so they will be easy to write on! For the price you can’t beat it! I can’t wait to use them for Post Crossings this fall!!
