«The Night Before Christmas» is the illustrated children's story by Clement C. Moore, published by Parragon Book Service Ltd in paperback, in English.
On Christmas Eve, a father wakes to hear a noise on the roof and sees St. Nicholas arrive on his sleigh with his reindeer. The visitor comes down the chimney, fills the hanging stockings with gifts, and disappears wishing a merry Christmas. The poem, with its musical rhythm, helped fix the modern image of Santa Claus.
The poem appeared in 1823 in a newspaper in Troy (New York) as «A Visit From St. Nicholas». This 2013 edition includes illustrations by Henry Fisher; authorship is attributed to Clement C. Moore.
Recommended for children aged 2 to 6 and for reading with the family during Christmas.
Clement Clarke Moore was an American writer, scholar and real estate developer. He is best known as author of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", which first named each of Santa Claus's reindeer.
