About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Vivid paintings bring to life this story of the chance sighting of the world's best-loved gift giver--Santa Claus. Working in the folk-art tradition, Finster offers an original and exciting visual approach to the well-known Yuletide treasure and creates a fascinating union between the traditional and the uniquely contemporary."
"A selection of the inspirational messages that are always incorporated into Finster's art surround the poem, and a brief biography of Howard Finster follows the illustrations. "
Synopsis
"A Visit from St. Nicholas ", also known as " The Night Before Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas " from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 . This famous poem helped to cement the image of Santa Claus from the description of his appearance, his transportation, and how he brings the gifts to children on Christmas eve.
