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.
In questa edizione speciale per il 200° anniversario, Sally Veillette presenta una versione innovativa della celebre poesia "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Con illustrazioni straordinarie e traduzioni in 15 lingue, questo libro celebra l'unità globale e la magia del Natale, rendendo omaggio al classico di Clement Clarke Moore.
