"The art and history of the famous Christmas poem, Twas The Night Before Christmas, written by Clement Clarke Moore in 1822. The history of the development of the poem over two centuries. 2022 and 2023 mark bicentennial milestones for the poem, the writing and publishing debut. With hundreds of art works in the book the story of the poem's rise in popularity is told through primarily through the images represented in the book. The history follows the development of Christmas in North America, following its roots back to the days of the Roman Empire and the legendary fetes of Saint Nicholas. The book follows the development of the character of Santa Claus, primarily through the illustration of the poem by the lead artists of each decade; Thomas Nast, F.O.C. Darley, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell and the artists of the Golden Age of American Illustration--Jessie Wilcox Smith, W.W. Denslow and Leyendecker to name a few. The book is a gift book for a general audience, who love the poem and want to learn more about its history and origins."--,Provided by publisher.
