About the author
Clement Clarke Moore (1779 – 1863) was an American writer and professor. His poem "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas," first published anonymously in 1823, became known as the Christmas classic "The Night Before Christmas." The story was written as a Christmas gift for his six children. Moore was a lifelong New Yorker and died in his summer home in Newport, Rhode Island.
