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.

Stunningly atmospheric art also abounds in PJ Lynch’s illustration of the classic Christmas verse ’Twas the Night Before Christmas’. A book to treasure forever.
The Irish Independent

For Christmas Eve, Clement C Moore’s 1823 poem “’Twas The Night Before Christmas” is a must-read, and the great illustrator PJ Lynch has given us a version suffused with winter magic, all warmth and shivery loveliness, for ages 3 to 93.
New Statesman

beautiful reinterpretation […] Lynch, Ireland’s fourth Laureate na nÓg for children’s literature has used a dark Victorian palette lit up like a Vermeer by the glow of snow and candle flame. The pair go together like turkey and cranberry sauce. To be read on Christmas Eve with lashings of nostalgia.

Clement Clarke Moore

Clement Clarke Moore was a scholar of ancient languages, but is remembered to this day for his memorable poem 'The Night Before Christmas', which started appeared anonymously in newspapers in the 1820s.

His character of St Nicholas strongly influenced the character of Santa Claus that we know today, and reading aloud the poem remains a favourite Christmas tradition.
