This classic Christmas scene is from Little Golden Books' take on the classic Christmas poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas a.k.a. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore, originally written in 1832! This version, The Night Before Christmas, as illustrated by Corinne Malvern, was first published in 1949. With its timeless charm and festive spirit, it's the perfect source for crafting heartwarming holiday greeting cards. See this image in a boxed greeting card set!

Little Golden Books are renowned for their heartwarming illustrations and endearing messages. In collaboration with Random House Children’s Books, the publisher of Little Golden Books and Diane Muldrow’s Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book, our cards are designed to convey warm wishes to both children and the young at heart. Whether it's for a birthday, anniversary, or simply to say "I'm thinking of you," these cards pay homage to the Little Golden Books tradition by featuring their iconic gold band on the back. Each card is accompanied by a golden envelope, adding an additional golden touch to your heartfelt messages!

Corinne Malvern (1901–1956) was an extraordinary talent who led a fascinating life! She had a unique start as a child actress alongside her sister, Gladys, performing in plays, vaudeville shows, operas, and even a silent movie, all thanks to their mother's work as a wardrobe mistress for theater companies. As a young teen, she transitioned from the spotlight to the canvas by studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, ultimately launching her career as a commercial artist and fashion illustrator. For a time, she was the art editor for Ladies' Home Journal, where her talent graced the magazine's covers. Alongside her sister, who had become a writer, the dynamic duo embarked on another partnership, venturing into the world of children's books. Together, they crafted stories that set the stage for Corinne's significant contributions to the realm of Little Golden Books—her work there includes beloved titles like Heidi, Frosty the Snow Man, The Night Before Christmas, Doctor Dan the Bandage Man, and Nurse Nancy. We're delighted to know her through her work!
