Author Description

"Here is a delightful Christmas book, a combination of Christmas legend, Santa Claus. Clement Moore, charming drawings by Thomas Nast, and the warm nostalgia of the past. Many of these drawings appeared originally in 1890. Long unavailable, they are now accompanied by additional Nast drawings - some previously unpublished - a text by Nast's grandson that briefly covers Nast's life, and some appealing recollections of Nast in his prime that capture his extravagant love of children and puckish humor."
