Author: Clement C. Moore
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Exquisitely detailed drawings by Matt Tavares embody the spirit of a magical night now in a lavish, full-size edition marking the two-hundredth anniversary of the classic poem.

Once upon a time, children imagined St. Nicholas as a stern, skinny bishop who was as likely to dole out discipline as Christmas presents.
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 favourite ’Twas the Night Before Christmas Or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas honours the poem’s original language in a definitive keepsake volume.
