  • Baker & Taylor
    A whimsical, medieval retelling of the classic holiday poem follows the adventures of three haphazard knights who encounter a red-and-white knight and his fleet of jolly dragons when they hear a clatter near their castle drawbridge.
  • McMillan Palgrave

    A humorous retelling of the classic poem Twas the Night Before Christmas--with a medieval twist!

    'Twas December 24th, and three brave knights were just settling in for the night when out on the drawbridge, there arose such a clatter! The knights try everything to get rid of this unknown invader (Santa Claus!), a red and white knight with a fleet of dragons . . .

    But nothing would stop
    their white-whiskered foe.
    No matter their efforts,
    he just would not go!

    This parody of Clement Clarke Moore's well-known poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas is kid-friendly, clever, and just plain silly—sure to become a holiday classic of a different kind.
