“As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.”
It’s hard to imagine Christmas Eve without Clement C. Moore’s iconic poem. Roger Duvoisin’s illustrations are bright, warm and enchanting. Happy Christmas to all!
