Description:
"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house..." These immortal words have never sounded better than in Laughing Elephant's version of The Night Before Christmas. A facsimile of a 1917 edition, with the original illustrations and die-cut shape, this is the perfect first Night Before Christmas for any young child. Happy holidays!
Brief description: Clement Clarke Moore (1779 - 1863) was an American writer and professor. His poem "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas, " first published anonymously in 1823, became known as the Christmas classic "The Night Before Christmas. " The story was written as a Christmas gift for his six children. Moore was a lifelong New Yorker and died in his summer home in Newport, Rhode Island.
