Since it first appeared in 1823 as "A Visit from St. Nicholas," THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS has been a classic holiday story, read and enjoyed by people of all ages. This bright and vividly illustrated edition is a must-have for any library.
In this fresh approach to America's favorite Christmas poem, Tasha Tudor invites readers of all ages to look at the tale through the prism of a detailed Vermont setting that reflects her own everyday life. This personal touch, which includes an elfish interpretation of Saint Nick, gives the story the inviting warmth that is a Tudor hallmark.
