“Arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American”

“A narrative masterpiece that first put in print a description of Christmas Eve traditions forever linking Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus. A holiday poem that has transcended time and has become embedded in the Christmas lexicon the world over. This 200th anniversary edition is as magical as ‘the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow.’”
