A Whimsical Journey into Holiday Magic

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas:
Oh, one can always come home to the North Pole, the heart of a child, a corner of the living room, or a cup of cocoa… On each frosted window, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! If, when the Oxford snow has settled on the rooftops, an envelope was addressed to J.R.R. Tolkien’s hearth… On Christmas Eve, the elf Father Christmas took care of it. The envelope is spidery, and inside is the Christmas letter, bursting with polar bears, wicked goblins, and the daily life of Father Christmas. In a new edition, all the letters Father Christmas wrote to the children Tolkien from 1920 to 1943 are collected in Letters from Father Christmas.
Written with a spidery hand in flowing script, illustrated with goblins, bears and elves, and stamped with an Arctic postmark, these magical letters from Father Christmas bring the North Pole to life with goblin mischief and the snowball antics of the North Polar Bear. Long before Tolkien gave the world hobbits and elves, he created a home as wonderful as a fairy tale and made it full of snow, polar bears, Father Christmas himself, and the joy and astonishment of childhood.
