- "Many primary schools respond to the period which falls between Harvest and the onset of the Christmas season by undertaking work on the themes of either Hallowe'en or Guy Fawkes. Both these themes have enormous creative potential and draw their basic inspiration from the folk traditions or history of this country. From time to time some concern surfaces from parents and the churches about the use of Hallowe'en, in particular, as a topic, because of its association with Black Magic, evil and the devil. It is the purpose of this booklet to attempt to help schools explore their present practice in order to find an effective balance in their work at this period of the year. ... This booklet draws on publications on this theme prepared by the [Anglican] dioceses of Chelmsford and Durham, both of which are quoted on a number of occasions in this text". -- Preface.
