on Christmas Eve Day, 1822, Clement Clarke Moore Struggled To Write A Surprise For His Children. While Traveling To Lower Manhattan From His Farm, Chelsea, Many Thoughts Ran Through His Head.

This Illuminating Treat Is Destined To Become A Classic In Its Own Right.

delicately Lined Paintings In Pastel But Christmassy Shades Are Pretty, Especially Those Of Clement's Twilight Journey Through The Almost Pastoral Manhattan Streets, And A Wintry Map Of The Area Is The Book's Highlight.
