 e Christmas season’s most well-known and oft-recited poem\, “A Visit F
 rom St. Nicholas” (also commonly referred to as “ ’Twas the Night Be
 fore Christmas”)\, McColl provides a collection of illustrations\, snipp
 ets of literature\, and historical tidbits related to Clement Clark Moore
 ’s renowned rhyme.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe author’s illuminating peek into t
 he formulation and reception of the poem is well organized\, with lovely\,
  colorful images from various sources peppering the pages of text. Readers
  are given not only the background of the poem—written in 1822 and publi
 shed in 1823—but also the origins of St. Nicholas and the varying cultur
 al customs tied to Christmas throughout history.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the A
 uthor:\n\n\n\nIn 2012\, Pamela McColl published a revised edition of Twas 
 The Night Before Christmas that attracted international media attention. F
 rom The Colbert Report to the BBC\, her decision to edit out the reference
  to Santa Claus smoking a pipe was a topic over dinner tables. In apprecia
 tion of the classic poem marking a bi-centennial anniversary in 2022/2023\
 , McColl brings her extensive knowledge of the poem's history to this new 
 publication. McColl studied art and history and went on to do graduate wor
 k in the field of cultural history before working as a corporate art consu
 ltant for 20 years. From there she launched an art and book publication co
 mpany in 1997. This latest book production is the culmination of ten years
  of research into the 200 year history of the poem.\n\n\n\n\n\n
