This poem, also known as âTwas the Night Before Christmasâ, tells of the arrival of St. Nicholas on Christmas Eve. It is filled with original artwork from the mid 19th century, music and sound effects to for an even greater appreciation of this classic Christmas tale. You may listen to the reader with sound effects or read aloud to your child with your own voice.
The reader, Christian Andrade, took special care to make it special for his 3 year old son. It was created and directed by Diana Andrade, the grandmother, at Brook Forest Voices studio. Jaime Andrade, a.k.a. grandpa, gave extra commentary at the beginning and end of the reading. This has been a labor of love by all involved in this rendition of the famous poem.
Clement C. Moore originally claimed authorship, but later the family of Henry Livingston, Jr. - a soldier, landowner, and poet who died in 1828 - disputed Mooreâs claim and argued that the poem was Livingstonâs. Recently computer-aided analysis shows more similarities to Livingstonâs poetry than to Mooreâs.
