Synopsis "Twas the Night Before Christmas: Or Account of a Visit From st. Nicholas "

Exquisitely detailed drawings by Matt Tavares embody the spirit of a magical night now in a lavish, full-size gift edition marking the two-hundredth anniversary of the classic poem. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Once upon a time, children imagined St. Nicholas as a stern, skinny bishop who was as likely to dole out discipline as Christmas presents. But thanks to the poem "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas"--written by Clement C. Moore in 1822 and published the next year in the Troy Sentinel--a plumper, merrier St. Nick was born, transformed into the sleigh-riding, chimney-diving jolly old elf we now call Santa Claus. With gorgeous monochrome illustrations by Matt Tavares that are meticulously true to pre-Victorian times, this reissue of the holiday favorite 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas honors the poem's original language in a definitive keepsake volume.

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.
