Clement C. Moore was born in New York City in 1779. A proffessor and writer, he is best known for this poem, which he wrote for this children in 1822. Originally entitled A Visit from St. Nicholas, the poem soon became better known by its famous first line: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Mark spent his childhood drawing, playing football till dark, and reading Marvel superhero comics. He didn't make it as a footballer or superhero, so he became the next best thing: a writer and illustrator of children's books. Mark lives in Warwickshire with his wife and his two little superheroes, who happily play football till dark with their dad!
