Phyllis Limbacher Tildes.
In this helpful book, the history, growing, uses, related legends (such as the origin of the name "jack-'o-lantern"), and carving of pumpkins are laid out in an easy-to-read and thoughtfully illustrated format. The author includes recipes, websites, a reading list, pumpkin facts, and how to say pumpkin in twelve languages.
