This classic holiday poem makes a perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for children of all ages—and the young at heart!

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house . . .

 

Clement Clarke Moore’s timeless poem about Christmas Eve is beautifully brought to life by illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger and her unique interpretation of Santa’s fantastic midnight visit. The poem—originally titled, “A Visit from St. Nicholas”—is in large part responsible for the conception of the Santa Claus recognized today and is artistically rendered in this picture book full of holiday spirit.

 

Clement Clarke Moore was a professor of Oriental and Greek literature and the author of “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” which later became “The Night Before Christmas.” View titles by Clemens Moore

She is the author and illustrator of numerous books including The Little Mermaid and The Pied Piper of Hamelin. View titles by Lisbeth Zwerger
