About this ebook
Step into the magic of Christmas with this timeless yuletide poem, accompanied by Arthur Rackham’s enchantingly festive illustrations.
The Night Before Christmas tells a lyrical story full of Christmas morning excitement. The whispered promise of St. Nicholas visiting with his eight magical reindeer and a sleighful of toys has brought joy to the hearts of readers for generations.
Written and published by Clement Clarke Moore in 1823, this timeless children’s poem creates a lasting image of the jolly, round-bellied man that inspired many modern imaginings of Father Christmas. Brought magically to life by the masterful artwork of Golden Age illustrator Arthur Rackham in full colour and black-and-white illustrations.
