The Visit

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.
