The classic Christmas verse delightfully reimagined in a gorgeous picture book from the highly acclaimed author and illustrator P.J. Lynch.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

P.J. Lynch brings his rich and atmospheric art to the well-loved Christmas verse. From the stockings hung by the chimney to the bundle of toys flung over St Nicholas’s back and the family snug in their beds, children will love to pore over the detailed images inside. A book to return to again and again.
