Summary:
"In 1844, a man named Clement C. Moore claimed authorship of "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas." Since then, many scholars have contested that claim and have even named other possible authors, so we may never know the identity of the aononymous writer. Over the years, the poem has also undergone changes. It has become known to many by a different title, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, after its opening line. Also, many editors have taken liberties in altering its original punctuation and spelling. Some have even changed the names of Santa's reindeer. But the words in the edition...appear exactly as they did when "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas" was first published anonymously in the Troy Sentinel on December 23, 1823." -- A note from the illustrator.
