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.
