Visit From Santa Claus

"T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse." This timeless poem is so well known to children and so often recited by adults it is virtually a part of our common heritage. Written on Christmas Eve in 1822-in a horse-drawn sleigh with jingling bells according to legend-it evokes the excitement and good cheer of Christmas Eve like no other work of American literature. Paired with Thomas Nast's drawings of St. Nicholas, from which we derive the classic image of Santa Claus, this lovely edition may well become the quintessential American Christmas book for children of all ages.

A VISIT FROM SANTA CLAUS was originally published in 1899 by McLoughlin Brothers, New York, New York.

It's a quiet Christmas Eve. The snow is fresh, the kids are dreaming, and even the mice are snug in their homes. But wait--what's that clatter? This Christmas classic includes illustrations from Jessie Willcox Smith.

Charming reproduction of a 1916 treasure features lilting verse and 14 illustrations that recount a trip to the North Pole. An adventure for kids; a must-have edition for collectors.

It's Christmas Eve. Have you been good? Santa's packed up all the presents and is headed your way! With the help of a certain red-nosed reindeer, Santa flies over many landmarks in your town! "Ho, ho, ho!" laughs Santa. "Merry Christmas!"
