If you ever want to dress up as a Queen Bee, Belle of the Racecourse, a Canadian Snow-Wreath, an Oarswoman, or a Golden Hen, this is the reference for you.
It's actually a gorgeous book, with full color illustrations like this one for "witch".
Which costume would you pick? I'm partial to their description of Ophelia, myself.
