Originally written on Christmas Eve, 1822, as a gift for his children, this time-honored holiday poem was never intended for publication by its author, biblical scholar Clement Clarke Moore. This edition, a faithful reproduction of an antique book originally printed in the 1870s from stone lithographs, brings the past to vivid life for present and future generations. Full color.

This book looks so authentic it resembles the real thing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas or A Visit From St. Nicholas (An Antique Reproduction) (Hardcover)
The Night Before Christmas-or A visit by St. Nicholas is a Christmas poem that is a must-read piece of literature. This particular version- is a reproduction of the original copy. The illustrations and print are absolutely beautiful . It takes the reader back in time to an era which truly captivates the real meaning of Christmas through the eyes of an innocent child. This classic work can be read over and over by anyone at any age. This particular version will add to anyone's heirloom Christmas collections and will no doubt be left on display for all to enjoy!

This review is from: The Night Before Christmas or A Visit From St. Nicholas (An Antique Reproduction) (Hardcover)
This book seems to have 4 or 5 versions of the story being told all at once, and out of order. The pictures didn't correlate to the text. It was completely confusing and very frustrating, as I was really looking forward to reading the timeless tale to my daughter on Christmas Eve night. A blind and deaf person must have put the book together. It is the only explanation.

rip off,
This review is from: The Night Before Christmas or A Visit From St. Nicholas (An Antique Reproduction) (Hardcover)
I bought this book before Christmas 2011, believing I was buying the best version available. After receiving the book, it is good quality, but in no way "antique reproduction". It has the look and feel of any other kids book you would buy. I had great expectation about better paper stock and binding to make it feel more like a classic book (and reflect the price paid).
I paid $120 for it, and now see that the price has gone up about 50%??? - and I feel like I way over paid. Don't be duped! Don't buy this item! I just found a website called [...] that actually shows antique versions of this book, and look nothing like this version.
