It´s poor battered body disappeared some time after the last of my little ones went off into the adult world. I am so delighted to see it back again, though this time as a nicely affordable soft cover. Clement C. Moore´s enchanting story poem already provides an atmosphere filled with warmth and joyful expectation and with the addition of Tasha Tudor´s quaint, nostalgic water-colors from an antique New England the Christmas magic is complete!
The winter landscapes fill our senses and Tasha´s own gray tabby cat and Welsh Corgi welcome us into this charming world.
Tasha´s Santa that you will meet in this book has been portrayed as the poem describes him...a right jolly old elf. He´s not that much larger than the corgi and his team really consists of eight ´tiny´ reindeer. His pointy ears and his Eskimo mukluks add to the delightful ambiance of the book. He dances with the toys and with the happy animals and we can truly believe it will be a happy Christmas for all.
I hope this book becomes a Christmas Eve tradition for many, many more families.. And summed up by saying A Happy Christmas to All. Currently The Night Before Christmas has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Tasha Tudor claimed ´´Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...´ When Clement Moore wrote a Christmas poem for his children about a magical visit from Saint Nicholas, he had no way of knowing that it would become the best-known and best-loved holiday poem of all time. The magic of his familiar verses is brought to life in this edition with the enchanting illustrations of award-winning artist, Tasha Tudor. Recreating her own Vermont farm home, her drawings enliven the poem with all the charm of an old-fashioned country Christmas: handmade gifts under a candlelit tree, stockings hung by an open fire, and her trademark pets, a corgi dog and cat, to welcome St. Nick. With soft color, delicate detail, and nostalgic affection for times past, Tasha Tudor has created the perfect match for a classic poem that has delighted children and adults for generations.
