’Twas The Night Before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

A lavish, brilliant, and beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic Christmas poem, brought to life as never before by beloved master watercolourist Jon J Muth.

Watercolour illustrations brimming with love and light illuminate the spirit and joy that will inspire and delight families eager to celebrate the Christmas season.
