The Night Before Christmas




Clement Moore's classic poem about a visit from Father Christmas is beautifully re-illustrated by award-winning illustrator Richard Johnson

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.

About the authors

Clement C. Moore

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.
