Mr. Darcy's Night Before Christmas, Night Before Christmas Series

Told in rhyming verse and beautiful illustrations, this clever Christmas romance is the ideal gift for Austen fans of all ages.

Clement Clarke Moore's holiday classic The Night Before Christmas meets Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice when Mr. Darcy gets his own visit from St. Nicholas. In this parody of the beloved original poem, Santa teaches Darcy the true meaning of the holiday and helps him get what he's always wanted—a wife!

Mr. Darcy’s Night Before Christmas is part of a series of illustrated verse books based on classic literary characters. All written by Julie Petersen and illustrated by Sheryl Dickert, the others include Sherlock’s Night Before Christmas and Scrooge’s Night Before Christmas.
