Long ago, children imagined St. Nicholas as a stern, skinny bishop. Then came Clement C. Moore's poem, written in 1822, which gave the world a plumper, merrier St. Nick: the sleigh-riding, chimney-diving jolly old elf we now call Santa Claus.
This full-size gift edition, marking the poem's 200th anniversary, honors the original language of "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas" alongside Matt Tavares's exquisitely detailed monochrome drawings, true to pre-Victorian times. It's a definitive keepsake to read aloud every Christmas Eve.
