Clement Moore's classic poem about a visit from Father Christmas is beautifully re-illustrated by award-winning illustrator Richard Johnson

St. Nick and eight tiny reindeer descend through a brilliant night sky, and so the famous Christmas poem begins. Jan Brett captures the spirit of Clement Moore's classic poem in glorious illustrations. As St. Nick goes to work, he doesn't realize there are two stowaways from the North Pole exploring the sacks of gifts on the roof! A unique and beautiful edition, which all the family will cherish for years to come.

Clement C. Moore (1779–1863), an American scholar and poet, wrote a poem for his children in 1822 called A Visit From St. Nicholas, which would later become known as The Night Before Christmas. A friend submitted it to a local newspaper, The Troy Sentinel, where it was published on December 23, 1823. Moore's delightful verse detailing a visit from of Santa Claus and his eight flying reindeer has since become an international classic.
