I purchased this book in the hopes that it would be an "old fashioned" version of the book. Something that I can read to our two-month-old baby this Christmas Eve, and for many more in the future. I was NOT disappointed. Upon reading the introduction, I was glad to see this is the version as it orignially appeared in a newspaper so many years ago. No changes, no poetic license. The pictures give the appearance of time-accurate etchings, which I'm hoping will add to the wonderment when our little guy sits on my lap as I read it to him some years from now. Like I said, I was looking for a vintage-style version of this book, and that is EXACTLY what this book is. A better version of this book in stores or online today, I have not seen.
Fantastic Book! 'Twas the Night Before Christmas: Or Account of a visit From St. Nicholas is a little different, ENJOYABLE read!!! THANK YOU!!!

Somehow the older looking books represent a more simpler time. As I looked through this book, I could visualize a little girl or boy attentively listening. Exactly what I was looking for! This would make an excellent gift.
