The Knights Before Christmas

By Joan Holub

Book Overview

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.
