Description

'Twas the night before Christmas...' begins the classic poem by Clement C Moore, which is recited by families the world over and has been for well over a century.


This classic edition, featuring the atmospheric and evocative artwork of Roger Duvoisin, was created in 1954 but has been unavailable for decades. We are delighted to be restoring this Christmas classic for Australian families.
