Scenes from Clement Moore’s ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas inspire twelve
elegant and fascinating compositions where readers search for dozens of
intriguing hidden objects.
The first photograph, āThe Night Before Christmas,ā features a
gingerbread house, Christmas cookies, candles, bulbs, and more. āVisions of
Sugarplumsā is an abstract composition of Christmas confections; and āSuch a
Clatter!ā is a dynamic explosion of objects. In āIt Must Be Saint Nick,ā
Santa is shown in shadow; and in āAĀ Bundle of Toys,ā the presents in
Santa’sĀ sack are revealed as a magnificent jumble. The final photograph,
āHappy Christmas to Allā is a beautiful, pastoral landscape, lustrous under
new-fallen snow. The original poem is printed on the endpapers.
