"My favorite holiday story! This book recounts the story behind the writing of Clement Clarke Moore's famous poem - Twas the Night Before Christmas, by his great-great grandson (I think it was). It's written in the same wonderful prose, and is a touching holiday read for all ages. I cry every year when I read it aloud to my children. Rhyming text."
"This book really makes The Night Before Christmas special. It is a beautiful account of the reason for Clement Moore writing the first book. I have given more than twenty-five as gifts. Each one brought raves."
