Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R.Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas.
They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house!
Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note� and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script� adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader� young or old� can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas.
To coincide with the 25th anniversary of its first publication� Letters from Father Christmas has been reformatted into an attractive and affordable new format� with the inclusion of every one of the delightful letters and pictures that Tolkien sent to his children.
