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. Tolkiens 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 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 humour to the stories. From the first note to Tolkiens eldest son in 1920 to the final poignant letter to his daughter in 1943, this book collects all the remarkable letters and pictures in one enchanting edition. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness of Tolkiens Letters from Father Christmas.
