The Night Before Christmas

Description

Written in 1831 by the father of Russian literature, this charming and funny story features a witch who collects stars from the sky, a devil who puts the moon in his pocket, and a lovestruck blacksmith in the village of Dikanka. Drawing from the folktales of Nikolai Gogol’s far-flung village in Ukraine, The Night Before Christmas is the basis for many movie and opera adaptations, and is still read aloud to children on Christmas Eve in Ukraine and Russia.
