    Like Grandma Moses before him, the beloved Will Moses brings new and joyous life to everyone's favorite Christmas poem in this, his interpretation of The Night Before Christmas. With his sweeping and wintry landscapes and cozy fireside details, Moses sets just the right scenes for this unforgettable Santa delivering his sleigh-full of presents to an anxiously sleeping household.

    The Night Before Christmas was a signature book for Grandma Moses. Readers have long waited for her great grandson's warm and original rendition. They will be charmed by this edition of the classic tale, so wonderfully full of holiday spirit and Moses whimsy.

    Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863) was a professor of literature and theology, and the author of the famous poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which later became known as the famous "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The poem was first published anonymously but was later attributed to Moore. Moore's text greatly contributed to the modern-day Santa Claus story. View titles by Clement C. Moore
    Will Moses is a folk artist and the great-grandson of the famous primitive painter Grandma Moses. Developing his own folk style, he has become an internationally beloved artist in his own right with his work displayed in collections throughout the world, including at the White House. Will has illustrated 10 books, including The Night Before Christmas. He and his wife, Sharon, founded the Mount Nebo Gallery and Farm in Eagle Bridge, New York, where they live with their three children.
