Very good plus.
Price: $650.00
Have you ever wondered about the events that follow Clement Moore's beloved THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS? The McLoughlin Brothers did as well, so they penned an original sequel: "The Day After Christmas." This more practical poem finds St. Nicholas recast as white-bearded Dr. Brough, come to offer children relief from their candy-induced stomach aches after the holiday festivities. Instead of sugarplums, Dr. Brough invites visions of a castor oil bottle with fairy wings and a humanized pill. "These feastings and candies make Doctors' bills right," he exclaims, as he leaves for the next house of over-indulgent kids. A creative take on the Christmas classic.
