"'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house..."
When Clement Moore wrote a Christmas poem for his children about a magical visit from Saint Nicholas, he had no way of knowing that it would become the best-known and best-loved holiday poem of all time. The magic of his familiar verses is brought to life in this edition with the enchanting illustrations of award-winning artist, Tasha Tudor. Recreating her own Vermont farm home, her drawings enliven the poem with all the charm of an old-fashioned country Christmas: handmade gifts under a candlelit tree, stockings hung by an open fire, and her trademark pets, a corgi dog and cat, to welcome St. Nick.
With soft color, delicate detail, and nostalgic affection for times past, Tasha Tudor has created the perfect match for a classic poem that has delighted children and adults for generations.
