""A well-executed, faithful reproduction of Denslow's original 1902 publication. The artwork is sharp, the text is crisp, and there is none of the fuzzy or muddled nature that sometimes occurs when reproducing texts from before the time of digital files."" - Prince William Public Library SystemNearly 200 years ago a distinguished professor of classics wrote a charming holiday poem to amuse his children. ""A Visit from St. Nicholas"" traveled from Clement C. Moore's family circle into the hearts of people around the world. Today it is best known by its opening line, ""'Twas the night before Christmas . . .""This beautiful gift edition features an interpretation of the Yuletide classic by W. W. Denslow, the original illustrator of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz books. Denslow's bright and expressive full-colour illustrations add a whole new dimension to the familiar tale. This vivid new version was reproduced from the 1902 first edition. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In each spread, the right-hand page contains the illustration for the stanza, while the left-hand page contains the text itself. Accompanying the text on the left-hand pages are smaller illustrations that are less directly related to the stanza at hand. While such a format seems typical of early twentieth-century books, it is less common today and may seem odd to some readers.
Children today may be also be surprised to see that Santa--St. Nick--is not attired in the red and white to which we've become accustomed. Denslow's St. Nick is dressed more like a gentleman of the time, albeit particularly warmly in fur coat and fuzzy pants.
All in all, this edition of Clement C. Moore's beloved classic would be a beneficial addition to readers' Christmas story collections.
