Synopsis "A Visit from Saint Nicholas: Twas The Night Before Christmas With Original 1849 Illustrations "

"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house..." So begins the immortal lines that begin one of America's most famous poems adding magic to one of America's most favorite holidays. Written in the 1820s, Clement C. Moore did not openly acknowledge that he was the author until almost 1840. That makes this edition, with original woodcut illustrations by T. C. Boyd, one of the earliest published editions of this timeless classic. Imagine sitting at the foot of the bed of your child reading from an edition that is nearly identical to what children were familiar with for more than 100 years! And it gets better than that. The real Saint Nicholas was a real person who lived in the 4th century, famed for his generosity. What better way to celebrate Christmas than paying homage to one who knew the real 'reason for the season'? Available in both soft and hard cover editions, with bulk discounts available directly from the publisher.

Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) fue un erudito bíblico, profesor y poeta estadounidense, conocido principalmente por escribir el icónico poema navideño "Una visita de San Nicolás" (o "La Noche antes de Navidad"), que popularizó la imagen moderna de Santa Claus, nombrando a sus renos y describiendo su trineo. Nacido en Nueva York, educado en Columbia College, fue profesor en el Seminario Teológico General y también un promotor inmobiliario que influyó en el desarrollo de Greenwich Village.
