Clement C. Moore wrote this wonderful poem for his children in 1823. Since then it has been released again and again and it has become a perennial favourite for Christmas time reading. In this edition the classic poem is presented with some lavish, funny, and timeless illustrations that were discovered in a variety of publications from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book captures the magic of Moore's poem, a piece of writing which changed the image of Christmas forever.
