Description
This caringly-produced facsimile edition, with charming cover and interior illustrations by Jessie Wilcox Smith, was originally published in 1912.
The beloved and iconic Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (more commonly known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas") was written in 1823 by Clement C. Moore. The poem was an instant sensation and still, two hundred years later, is synonymous with Christmas and embodies many of the characteristics still associated with Santa Claus today.
