Description

Here at Laughing Elephant, we have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our library - this is one of our favorites. The immortal words of "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house..." have never sounded better than in Laughing Elephant's facsimile of the 1917 poem. Retaining the original illustrations and text, this reproduction is both familiar and completely unique. And, Margaret Evans Price has created one of the kindest Santas ever imagined - just look at the cover! Her illustrations blend beautifully with Clement Clarke Moore's famous words, creating the perfect Christmas time story. Laughing Elephant's The Night Before Christmas also features the original die-cut shape, with an additional and extremely appealing rounded top. This is an ideal first Night Before Christmas for a young child. Read it before bedtime and watch the young ones drift off to sleep with visions of sugarplums in their heads. All is calm, all is bright.

Author Biography:

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. Margaret Evans Price (1888 - 1973) was a toy manufacturer, artist, illustrator, and designer from New York. Founder of Fisher Price toys (along with her husband Irving Price and their collaborator Herman Fisher), she lived in East Aurora, New York with her family, where she designed toys to resemble the characters from her children's books.
