Watts, Alan W. EASTER: Its Story and Meaning.
London/NY: Abelard-Schuman, 1959. FIRST EDITION.
FINE CLOTH VOLUME in a nice dust jacket. 128 pages. Octavo. So far as I am aware, a book of this kind has never been attempted before, surprising as that may be in view of the important place which Easter holds in the Christian year. There is an abundance of works on the Resurrection of Christ, on the mythologies of the death and resurrection gods, and on folkways where those peculiar to Easter are noted. But there is no general description of the history and celebration of Easter even in its Christian context alone, much less one which takes into account its pre-Christian types. -- from the text. Seven plates including the frontispiece. 128 pages. 8vo.
