This magnificent deluxe slipcased edition of Tolkien's renowned illustrated letters from Father Christmas to his children features, for the first time, every available letter, picture, and envelope that he sent them, reproduced in stunning color. The ideal Christmas present for Tolkien enthusiasts of all ages.
This timeless festive book of Tolkien's incredible Father Christmas letters written to his children between the 1920s and the 1940s has been reimagined into a sumptuous, new deluxe edition. It contains brand new high-quality digital reproductions of his wonderful letters and pictures, including a number of them that have never been printed before, a revised introduction by Baillie Tolkien, and a special full-color, foldout frontispiece.
"My dear children, I am more shaky than usual this year. The North Polar Bears fault. It was the biggest bang in the world, and the most monstrous firework there has ever been. It turned the North Pole black!
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 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 Christmas' 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 magic to the letters.
This deluxe edition is a must-have for any Tolkien fan, and a beautiful addition to any Christmas collection."
