Letters from Father Christmas

Can you imagine writing to Father Christmas and actually getting a reply? For more than twenty years, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien received letters from the North Pole — from Father Christmas himself! They told wonderful stories of mischief and disaster, adventures, and battles: how 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's house, and many others.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and the author of such extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.
