"A Visit from St. Nicholas", more commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas" and " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823, and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who acknowledged authorship in 1837.The poem, which has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American", is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today, and has had a massive impact on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas about St. Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors had varied considerably. "A Visit from St. Nicholas" eventually would be set to music and has been recorded by many artists.

Odd presentation

I would give this book only three stars because the poem is given first, and the illustrations follow, leaving you to guess which goes with what in the poem. At least they are in order, and it is not difficult to mentally put the correct verse with the right picture. The illustrations are charming. And Santa is dressed in black. I surmise that the illustrations were done in an age prior to the convention of his being dressed in red.
Unfortunately, the star feature couldn't be corrected, so it appears to get 5 stars, which is not the case.

Cute story, but pics are weird

Classic poem, but the pics in this book are pretty awful. Santa looks different throughout the book, pics don’t always coordinate with the words on the page. But it’s light-weight so good for traveling, which is what I bought it for.

You're getting the original Clement Moore poem with the works of two esteemed illustrators. Anyone who is interested in St. Nick or Santa Claus or simply wants a wonderfully illustrated copy of the classic poem will be delighted with this booklet. The colors are fresh and lively throughout!

Christmas Eve magic

This is on my Kindle, which is one of the black-and-white-only ones, so I miss the color, but the story gets through, and the illustrations are good, even so.

My reason for purchasing it was that, when it came time for the Christmas Eve tradition of a grandchild's reading "A Visit from St. Nicholas," we discovered that the grands had not remembered to bring the book that I gave them years ago. We had to improvise. I visited the Kindle Store and purchased the least expensive version that I could find. The Gothic script wasn't easy for my grandchildren to read, especially in the low light of the Christmas Eve living room (firelight, candles, Christmas tree lights, just a couple of lamps), but they managed, so our tradition survives.
