Description: Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien, Baillie Tolkien J.R.R. Tolkiens beloved holiday favorite--redesigned for a new generation! Actual letters sent by Tolkien to his children--who were convinced they were from Father Christmas--tell wonderful tales about life at the North Pole. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The first ever paperback edition of J.R.R. Tolkiens complete Father Christmas letters, including a new introduction and rare archive materials.Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R.Tolkiens children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful colored 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 Christmass 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 humor to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and authenticity of Tolkiens Letters from Father Christmas. Author Biography J.R.R.
