Like Grandma Moses before him, the beloved Will Moses brings new and joyous life to everyone's favorite Christmas poem in this, his interpretation of The Night Before Christmas. With his sweeping and wintry landscapes and cozy fireside details, Moses sets just the right scenes for this unforgettable Santa delivering his sleigh-full of presents to an anxiously sleeping household.

The Night Before Christmas was a signature book for Grandma Moses. Readers have long waited for her great grandson's warm and original rendition. They will be charmed by this edition of the classic tale, so wonderfully full of holiday spirit and Moses whimsy.

Clement Clarke Moore was born in New York City and attended Columbia College, graduating at the top of his class in 1798. While he authored various works, his most beloved is the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," better known as "The Night Before Christmas," written in 1822 for his nine children. Moore taught Greek and oriental literature at the General Theological Society from 1823 until he retired in 1850. He died in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1863. View titles by Clement Clarke Moore
Will Moses is a folk artist and the great-grandson of the famous primitive painter Grandma Moses. Developing his own folk style, he has become an internationally beloved artist in his own right with his work displayed in collections throughout the world, including at the White House. Will has illustrated 10 books, including The Night Before Christmas. He and his wife, Sharon, founded the Mount Nebo Gallery and Farm in Eagle Bridge, New York, where they live with their three children.
