Books with author Clement Clark Moore

A classically illustrated edition of a perennial Christmas favorite. To readers of all ages, the classic words 'Twas the night before Christmas...' evoke images of St. Nick and his Christmas Eve journey. Written in 1822, the poem introduced families nationwide to a uniquely American Santa -- one with rosy cheeks who flies through the air with eight tiny reindeer. Nearly 200 years later, the tale remains a Christmas favorite, and Moore's 'right jolly old elf' still fills the dreams of every child at Christmastime. For all ages.

The poem, which has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American", is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today, and has had a massive impact on the history of Christmas gift giving. Prior to the poem, American ideas about St. Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors varied considerably. It became a popular poem which was set to music and was recorded by many artists.
