Description

Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

'The Night Before Christmas' is the name the poem 'A Visit From St. Nicholas' is more commonly known, a poem first published anonymously in 1823. 

The poem is set on the night of Christmas Eve, when a family is woken up by Santa Claus. Clement Clarke Moore's depiction of Father Christmas in this work is largely responsible for many of the modern day conceptions of the character, including his naming of each of Santa's reindeers. 

This edition has vivid illustrations by Arthur Rackham, including a colour frontispiece, and three colour plates.

Collated, complete.

Undated, dated from Jisc from a copy held at the Victoria and Albert Museum Libraries.
