Hoewel Clement Clarke Moore tegenwoordig vooral bekend is als de auteur van "A Visit From St. Nicholas", was hij tijdens zijn leven een gerespecteerd hoogleraar literatuur en een kenner van oude talen. Zijn academische bezigheden omvatten een diepe betrokkenheid bij oosterse en Griekse literatuur, en hij stelde een aanzienlijk Hebreeuws lexicon samen. Moore was diep verbonden met New York City, waar hij land schonk voor een theologisch seminarie en waar een wijk naar hem werd vernoemd. Zijn literaire nalatenschap leeft vooral voort door zijn geliefde kerstgedicht, dat een dierbare feestdagtraditie is geworden.

"I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick," wrote Clement Moore in 1822. Since then, his graphic Santa Claus image has become the world's. Moore's jolly old self, the reindeer-sleigh and chimney leap, the bag full of toys and visions of sugar plums so richly vivid in his poem, practically beg to be colored — and now they can be, in this coloring book illustrated by John O'Brien. The text of the poem accompanies the drawings, most spread over two pages, which capture in marvelous detail that tingle of Christmas best sensed by children.
