Ačkoliv je dnes Clement Clarke Moore znám především jako autor básně „Návštěva svatého Mikuláše“, v době svého života byl respektovaným profesorem literatury a polyglotem. Jeho akademická práce zahrnovala studium orientálních jazyků a sestavení hebrejského slovníku. Moore byl hluboce spjat s New Yorkem, kde daroval pozemek pro teologický seminář a kde po něm byla pojmenována jedna městská čtvrť. Jeho literární odkaz dnes žije především skrze jeho slavný vánoční verš, který se stal nedílnou součástí svátečních tradic.

"I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick," wrote Clement Moore in 1822. Since then, his graphic Santa Claus image has become the world's. Moore's jolly old self, the reindeer-sleigh and chimney leap, the bag full of toys and visions of sugar plums so richly vivid in his poem, practically beg to be colored — and now they can be, in this coloring book illustrated by John O'Brien. The text of the poem accompanies the drawings, most spread over two pages, which capture in marvelous detail that tingle of Christmas best sensed by children.
From the moonlit snow and sleepy little house to Santa's rosy cheeks and reindeer prancing on rooftops, award-winning illustrator P. J. Lynch brings his characteristically detailed, atmospheric illustrations to Clement C. Moore's well-loved poem in an exquisite new edition of this Christmas classic.
