First Rackham Illustrated Edition of The Night Before ChristmasWith Four Full-Page Color Plates[RACKHAM, Arthur, illustrator]. MOORE, Clement C. The Night Before Christmas. London: George G. Harrap & Co., [1931]. First trade edition. Octavo (8 5/8 x 5 3/4 in; 220 x 145 mm). 35, [3] pp. Four color plates and seventeen black and white drawings. Publisher's pictorial limp wrappers with original matching dust-jacket. Top edge trimmed, others uncut. Pictorial endpapers. A very good copy."The style of work for a series of poems published by Harrap and Sons in the early thirties returned unashamedly to the early style. These books were The Night Before Christmas (1931), The King Of The Golden River (1932), Goblin Market (1933) and The Pied Piper of Hamelin (1934). (Gettings, p. 161)."For the next three years Rackham and Harrap had a successful arrangement whereby two Rackham books, a long one and a shorter one, were published together annually. Thus in 1931, they brought out Walton's The Compleat Angler and Clement Moore's poem The Night Before Christmas. The limited edition of the latter sold out promptly."
