The Visit

More about the book

In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore created the classic Christmas poem, "The Night Before Christmas," Here in verse is the story of the writing of this classic--based upon the history of the poem as passed down through the generations of the Moore family and told to the author by Dinghy Sharp, great-great-granddaughter of Moore. The verse is accompanied by the detailed illustrations of Susan Winget, a nationally renowned artist whose work conveys a stunning sense of time and place. This lovely edition is a natural companion piece to "The Night Before Christmas" and sure to become an equally valued part of holiday traditions.
