Halloween book

When I was younger I had a book about Halloween. It was a kids book and I'm sure the cover was green. It told stores about Halloween and it's origins and it was for kids. What was it called?

The Good Earth by Pearl Buck

I read this book in about 1960. Just read it again. Still held my attention right to the end. Anyone else read it? There was a film too, but I never saw it.
