Carol Ann Duffy’s twenty-first-century reworking of this Victorian Christmas classic is filled with her characteristic warmth, wit and imagination. Illustrated by the sophisticated, romantic and truly original Rob Ryan, it’s the perfect gift this Christmas.
In a gorgeous pocket-sized hardback, Another Night Before Christmas is Carol Ann Duffy's magical contemporary reworking of the famous poem by Clement C. Moore. Beautifully presented, this wonderful festive poem, illustrated with Rob Ryan's paper cut artwork, is the perfect Christmas gift.
On the night before Christmas,
A child in a house,
As the whole family slept,
Behaved just like a mouse . . .
It's the night before Christmas and a young girl creeps down the stairs, determined to find out for certain whether Santa is real . . . But try as she might, she can't keep awake and is soon fast asleep.
She doesn't stir, even when Santa and his reindeer land on her roof-top - but then, when he bursts out of her fireplace, she wakes to a room filled with magic. As she watches him fly off into the night, she knows that she will never forget this sight because, at Christmas, the best gift of all is belief.
