Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Delicate cut-paper illustrations let readers peek ahead to the next scene in this elegant edition of a classic poem evoking the anticipation of Christmas Eve.

Clement C. Moore’s "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas," first published in 1825, spurred a revision of Yuletide traditions with its image of a merry Santa Claus beloved by children around the world. Now a cut-paper edition of the poem, with exquisite illustrations by Niroot Puttapipat, elicits the magic of the season through moonlit silhouettes. With scenes that transform with the turn of each page, revealing the fine details and decorations of a festive family home, this keepsake edition features a final pop-up spread that captures all the excitement of a special night.


About the Author

Clement C. Moore was born in 1779 in New York City and went on to become a philanthropist and professor of theology and ancient languages. He was the father of nine children, for whom he often wrote poetry.

Niroot Puttapipat grew up in Thailand, the grandson of a Thai princess. He has had a lifelong interest in art and literature and is the illustrator of THE MUSICIANS OF BREMEN. He now lives in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My!, November 8, 2007
By C. Miller (Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I collect Night Before Christmas books. I found this one a few days ago at a children's store. It is so incredibly beautiful. It has silhouettes, cut-outs, and ends with an insanely beautiful pop-up. I love kids but this is not a book for children -- it is a masterpiece - a work of art -- read it to your kids but then save it for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Victorin inspired, December 16, 2007
This new Night Before Christmas has the look and feel of a Victorian Christmas. The lillustrations are Arthur Racham inspired and make this so much more than a children's Christmas book. Buy you kids one and them one for yourself and one for each of your friends! They will be love it...

4.0 out of 5 stars The night before Christmas: a magical cut-paper edition, December 10, 2007
I collect The night before Christmas books, and this one is lovely. The black cutouts are dramatic. Wouldn't recommend it for young children; too easy to tear.
