Clement C. Moore's American holiday poem comes to life in a splendid volume that's rich with old-fashioned charm. In this special anniversary edition, Christian Birmingham's original, full-color artwork—which includes an extraordinary panorama of Santa Claus and his flying reindeer—and charcoal pencil drawings are exciting and evocative. The large-format size is perfect for reading aloud on Christmas Eve.
About the Authors
Clement Clarke Moore, (1779-1863), was a professor at New York City's General Theological Seminary (built on land donated by his father) who, in an 1836 reprint of A Visit From St. Nicholas (more commonly known today as ’Twas the Night Before Christmas ), was first credited as the author of the poem, and later included it in an anthology of his work.
Christian Birmingham, sometimes referred to as “Christmas” Birmingham thanks to the worldwide popularity of his holiday-themed picture books, is an English illustrator who has been short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Award for distinguished illustration in a children’s book. He has illustrated A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Treasury, The Classic Tales of Hans Christian Anderson, and many other well-received books for young readers.
