Exquisitely detailed drawings by Matt Tavares embody the spirit of a magical night now in a lavish, full-size gift edition marking the two-hundredth anniversary of the classic poem.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

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

The poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement C. Moore gains a richly illustrated new edition by Lynch. . . for traditionalists seeking a timeless option—particularly to present to first-time readers—Lynch’s dreamy illustrations of the Christmas classic will surely gratify.
—Publishers Weekly

[The] illustrations perfectly match the magical, nostalgic tone of the text.
—Kirkus Reviews

Readers are in for a treat. . . Lynch’s supple watercolor and gouache illustrations are perfect for the tale’s snowy, northern setting. . . . Each page is thoughtfully and artfully arranged. . . . A worthy addition to holiday shelves.
