The Night Before Christmas

A classically illustrated edition of a perennial Christmas favorite. To readers of all ages, the classic words 'Twas the night before Christmas...' evoke images of St. Nick and his Christmas Eve journey. Written in 1822, the poem introduced families nationwide to a uniquely American Santa -- one with rosy cheeks who flies through the air with eight tiny reindeer. Nearly 200 years later, the tale remains a Christmas favorite, and Moore's 'right jolly old elf' still fills the dreams of every child at Christmastime. For all ages.
