Product Description
More than twenty-five years after its first appearance, "Cajun Night Before Christmas" has become a modern classic that has sold more than 490,000 copies and has served as the model for Pelican's ongoing, best-selling "Night Before Christmas series."
The formula that started this success story is surprisingly simple: take the classic story of jolly old St. Nicholas, place it in a Louisiana bayou, dress Santa Claus in muskrat "from his head to his toes," pile his skiff high with toys, and hitch it to eight friendly alligators. The result is a delightful twist on an old and familiar tale. It is Christmas on the bayou.
James Rice (1934-2004), in his long, distinguished career as an author and illustrator, produced fifty-plus children's books, among them an addition to the "Night Before Christmas series", "Gullah Night Before Christmas." With more than a million and a half copies of his books in print, he ranks among the nation's best-selling creators of children's books. Mr. Rice died at his home in Hico, Texas in May 2004.
