The classic Christmas verse delightfully reimagined in a gorgeous picture book from the highly acclaimed author and illustrator P.J. Lynch.

“‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…”

P.J. Lynch brings his rich and atmospheric art to the well-loved Christmas verse. From the stockings hung by the chimney to the bundle of toys flung over St Nicholas’s back and the family snug in their beds, children will love to pore over the detailed images inside. A book to return to again and again.

Reviews for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Stunningly atmospheric art also abounds in PJ Lynch's illustration of the classic Christmas verse 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'. A book to treasure forever. * The Irish Independent * For Christmas Eve, Clement C Moore's 1823 poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas is a must-read, and the great illustrator PJ Lynch has given us a version suffused with winter magic, all warmth and shivery loveliness, for ages 3 to 93. * New Statesman * beautiful reinterpretation [...] Lynch, Ireland's fourth Laureate na nOg for children's literature has used a dark Victorian palette lit up like a Vermeer by the glow of snow and candle flame. The pair go together like turkey and cranberry sauce. To be read on Christmas Eve with lashings of nostalgia. * The Times * a stunning new version of the Christmas classic by an award-winning Irish illustrator * The Irish Independent * a long time seasonal favourite * The Irish Catholic *
