Sebbene Clement Clarke Moore sia oggi conosciuto principalmente come l'autore di "A Visit From St. Nicholas", durante la sua vita fu un rispettato professore di letteratura e uno studioso di lingue antiche. Le sue attività accademiche includevano un profondo coinvolgimento nella letteratura orientale e greca e la compilazione di un importante lessico ebraico. Moore era profondamente legato a New York City, donando terreni per un seminario teologico e dando il nome a un quartiere in suo onore. La sua eredità letteraria perdura in modo più prominente attraverso la sua amata poesia natalizia, che è diventata una preziosa tradizione festiva.

"I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick," wrote Clement Moore in 1822. Since then, his graphic Santa Claus image has become the world's. Moore's jolly old self, the reindeer-sleigh and chimney leap, the bag full of toys and visions of sugar plums so richly vivid in his poem, practically beg to be colored — and now they can be, in this coloring book illustrated by John O'Brien. The text of the poem accompanies the drawings, most spread over two pages, which capture in marvelous detail that tingle of Christmas best sensed by children.
