The Night Before Christmas
(Book)

First appeared in 1823 as "A Visit from St. Nicholas," The Night Before Christmas has been a classic holiday story, read and enjoyed by children and adults during the holiday season. Stockings are hung on the mantle, sugar plums dance through childrens' dreams, reindeer clamor on the rooftops, and "you know in a moment it must be Saint Nick!" This bright and vividly illustrated edition of Moore's timeless poem is a must-have for any family during the holiday season, whether it is placed under the tree for Christmas Eve or given as a pre-holiday treat.

"Nothing so bespeaks Christmas as Clement C. Moore's classic poem. Ted Rand has illustrated it with lush pictures of the era in which it was written. St. Nicholas, resplendent in his suit of red, is the very picture of Moore's jolly old elf. While paying faithful tribute to the smallest detail of the beloved myth, the artist infuses it with magical new life, creating a holiday treasure that families will share and delight in for generations to come" --,from Amazon.
