Wunderschöne Ausgabe des (!) am. Weihnachtsgedichts – –
Auf das Weihnachtsgedicht von Clement C. Moore wird in vielen amerikanischen Weihnachtsfilmen Bezug genommen. Entweder wird daraus vorgelesen oder der Charakter des Weihnachtsmanns hat entsprechende Züge. Diese Ausgabe ist wunderschön: auf jeder Seite gibt es für Kinder viele schöne Details zu suchen und zu entdecken. So kann das Bilderbuch immer neu gelesen werden. Die englischen Reime faszinieren sicher auch deutsche Kinder, die schon in der Grundschule Englisch lernen, wenn man sie ihnen vorliest und erklärt.
Howard Finster’s Folksy View of “The Night Before Christmas” – –
Howard Finster illustrates Clement Moore’s classic “The Night Before Christmas” in vivid, twentieth century folk art tradition. Finster’s unique and imaginative representation combines a meld of his vision of God’s creation, angels, with man’s creation, Santa Claus. Additionally, the Reverend Finster renders his optimistic, spiritual view of the opportunity the Christmas season presents for mankind to experience good. Howard Finster helps readers escape the over-commercialism that had crept into this delightful holiday season.
: Clement C. Moore’s beloved poem about Santa’s arrival on Christmas Eve has been illustrated by hundreds of artists since its first publication in 1823. Two collectors of antique children’s books have selected a variety of these charming pictures from Arthur Rackham, Jessie Willcox Smith, Thomas Nast, and other renowned children’s illustrators of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of the images are from versions of the poem; a few are from antique postcards or magazines. Source notes for all the illustrations are included. Santa is dressed differently by each artist, but he is always “chubby and plump–a right jolly old elf” who brings joy to all good little girls and boys. This attractive edition of The Night Before Christmas will be enjoyed most by collectors of children’s books or lovers of things Victorian. Youngsters who are already familiar with the poem will delight in comparing the different old-fashioned Santas and the children of long ago “nestled all snug in their beds.” A charming holiday gift to leave under the tree on Christmas Eve for anyone who believes in the magic of Santa Claus.
