Clement Clarke Moore

Äntligen är det tyst i huset. Strumporna hänger på sin plats. Barnen sover, förväntansfulla inför morgondagen. Men vad är det för konstiga ljud som kommer från gården? Julaftonsnatt [Twas the Night Before Christmas] publicerades första gången anonymt dagen före julafton 1823. Med tiden har den blivit en av de verkligt stora julklassikerna, en magisk saga för alla åldrar och den text som på egen hand lagt grunden till hela den västerländska idén om jultomten. I denna utgåva presenteras berättelsen i en ny översättning - av Thomas Sjösvärd - rikt illustrerad med Jessie Willcox Smiths älskade illustrationer, som här restaurerats digitalt för att göra originalteckningarna full rättvisa. CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE [1779-1863] var en amerikansk författare och professor i grekisk litteratur samt bibelstudier.

JESSIE WILLCOX SMITH [1863-1935] var en amerikansk illustratör som medverkade i otaliga böcker och tidningar. Hon utbildade sig hos Howard Pyle och tecknade regelbundet åt Ladies Home Journal.
