Product Description

Product Description

A carefully recreated, original version of the well-loved Christmas poem. Before 1823, most children outside Holland and Germany didn't even know who Santa was. Then, in 1823, a New York newspaper printed an anonymous poem entitled "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas". This was the first time many children in America had heard of Santa Claus. Wondering what might happen if they hung their stockings by the chimney, many children did, and were greeted by an array of treats. News of this incredible phenomenon spread quickly. Soon the poem was reprinted all over the world, and Santa Claus has been a very busy man ever since.;A beautifully produced 19th century style edition of this popular poem, with atmospheric and gorgeously tactile black and white illustrations.


About the Author

Matt Tavares is the author-illustrator of "Zachary's Ball". He says of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas", "As a child, I would lie in bed, unable to sleep, listening carefully for any sign that Santa Claus and his reindeer might be on the roof. There were times when I was sure I heard sleigh bells. But I never saw him come down the chimney. Maybe someday..." Matt lives in Massachusetts, USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas is coming!, 13 May 2009
I bought a copy of this for my 3 year old son before Christmas, (I remember this book being read to me by my parents before christmas every year when I was little). It is a magical tale and really gets you in the Christmas spirit. My son loved it and we read it nearly every night leading up to Christmas. The illustrations in this copy are really lovely and the price is a fantastic. I can't wait to read it to him next year...

This review is from: Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hardcover)
Excellent book with lovely illistrations. I can't wait until Christmas eve when i can read it to my two young children. I am extremely happy with the look and style of the book and the fact that it is a hard copy. I have bought several copies for friends and family who have young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Magical! , 8 Feb 2009
By L. Norris "Square Eyes" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hardcover)
If you are a fan of this Christmas poem, this is definitely the book for you. The illustrations are absolutely magical and totally capture the spirit of Christmas. This is compulsory reading on Christmas Eve around a roaring fire for adults and children alike! A book that should be on everyones shelves and brought down and enjoyed once a year. 10/10.
