About the Author

Clement C. Moore (1779–1863), an American scholar and poet, first wrote The Night Before Christmas in 1822 to entertain his children. A friend submitted it to a local newspaper, The Troy Sentinel, where it was published on December 23, 1823. Moore's delightful description of St. Nicholas and his eight flying reindeer has since become the definitive portrait of Santa Claus.

I wanted a more classic looking version of this book, but found this one on sale and bought. It's a very fun book with lots of things to look at. Who can resist Mary Englebreit? My son enjoys the pictures and that's what matters most.
