Howdy neighbor, and Happy Hallowe’en!
As we do every year at this time, to help get our readers into the shivery spirit of the season, this week I delight in laying aside my regular, well-sourced histories, to dip instead into the captivating well-spring of tradition and folklore. For this is the week of Hallowe’en, and there is no finer time the whole year round for the telling of ghost stories. As I delight in collecting and retelling the myths and legends of our own land, this week in honor of Hallowe’en I have a special treat for you, but before we begin, let me speak a moment on apples.
