The Story of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"

The Life & Times of Clement Clarke Moore & His Best-Loved Poem of Yuletide

About this book

The "charming" story behind one of the best-loved poems in the English language was written as a gift by a father to his family ( Cleveland Daily Banner Book Review ).

In 1822, when Wall Street was still adjacent to rolling farmland, a devoted and deeply spiritual man named Clement Clarke Moore first shared his poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas, " with his family. Moore's gift not only delighted his loved ones; it went on to enchant millions of people everywhere, and still does to this day.

With this book about the life and times of the Moore family in nineteenth-century New York and how the famous poem came into being, readers can make this timeless gift of yuletide their own beloved tradition. Beautifully designed with twenty drawings, The Story of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" also features a facsimile of the poem in Moore's own handwriting.
