The Night before Christmas - with Illustrations by Arthur Rackham - E-book - ePub

"The Night before Christmas" by Clement Clarke Moore with the Illustrations by Arthur Rackham: the classic for the Christmas season: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there ... Dr. Clement C. Moore, the author of these verses, was born in the city of New York in 1779.
He wrote in a Christmas-time this poem for his children. Published first under the title "A Visit from St. Nicholas", it has been translated into nearly all European languages, and has even been issued in Braille.
