Description

Press release from Fountaindale Public Library District: Jay December 17, 2021 While known most prominently for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien had an extensive library of other works. Released after his death, Letters from Father Christmas is a collection of beautifully crafted letters sent by "Father Christmas" to his children every year on Christmas between 1920 and 1943. Each one was written in a distinct wavy handwriting telling about Old Saint Nick and his friend the Great (Polar) Bear, with prose, drawing and a special stamp on each one. All of them are reproduced here with a transcription of the text. This classic festive book has been reworked into a new and attractive edition. It contains brand new high-quality digital reproductions of his amazing letters and pictures, including a number of them that have never been printed before.
