Winter and Christmas-themed picture book from the McLoughlin Brothers, featuring rhymes for young children illustrated with chromolothographs with little children at play.

First edition of this collection of old-English Christmas legends, history, and lore, touching on both the origins of contemporary British Christmas rituals and many lost traditions.

First edition thus, using the title "The Night Before Christmas" instead of the original title, "A Visit from St. Nicholas."

Rare book of Christmas poems lavishly illustrated with chromolithography and retaining the pre-1900 original dust jacket featuring Santa Claus.
