Clement Clarke Moore's The Night Before Christmas has had umpteen iterations featuring illustrations by everyone from Thomas Nast to Grandma Moses. Here, the popular artist Eloise Wilkin (she of the chubby-cheeked children), adapts an earlier Little Golden Book version into a six-foot-long, double-sided panorama (A Golden Panorama Book). This 1962 first edition (the LGB was published in 1955) represents the never-ending interest of Golden Books to expand their formats and contents beyond the Little Golden Book brand. In About Fine condition and featuring a great Santa Claus.
