A mid the many celebrations last Christmas Eve, in various places by different persons, there was one, in New York City, not like any other anywhere. A company of men, women, and children went together just after the evening service in their church, and, standing around the tomb of the author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas," recited together the words of the poem which we all know so well and love so dearly.

"T''was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse." This timeless poem is so well known to children and so often recited by adults it is virtually a part of our common heritage. Written on Christmas Eve in 1822-in a horse-drawn sleigh with jingling bells according to legend-it evokes the excitement and good cheer of Christmas Eve like no other work of American literature. Paired with Thomas Nast''s drawings of St. Nicholas, from which we derive the classic image of Santa Claus, this lovely edition may well become the quintessential American Christmas book for children of all ages.

There are many versions of this classic Christmas poem - this one is the best. This edition includes the original illustrations of influential pioneer Ethel Hays, whose rendition of Santa has defined tradition. A table-length pullout of Saint Nick, sleigh, and reindeer makes this book a perfect Christmas tradition-starter and keepsake.

In 1844, Moore published "A Visit from St. Nicholas" in an anthology of his own poetry, but Livingston''s family has always insisted that Moore is not the true author. However, even if Livingston''s family had never spoken up, Moore''s authorship rings a bit false
