Letters from Father Christmas (Deluxe Edition) (Ages 6+)

Letters from Father Christmas (Deluxe Edition) (Ages 6+)

Our Review

This is, without a doubt, one of the most magical books ever. It's tangible proof that J.R.R. Tolkien, before he was the architect of Middle-earth, was a wonderful father who, every December, truly became Father Christmas for his children.

This book collects all those letters, but this Deluxe Edition is a treasure in itself. Forget other versions: this is the best. It's a book that looks like it came straight from the North Pole factory: it comes in an illustrated protective slipcase, the binding is spectacular with silver embossing, and most importantly, it includes all the original illustrations and envelopes in color, some of them for the first time.

Seeing the incredible lettering he invented, the Polar Bear's drawings, and the North Pole stamps is an absolute delight. It's the perfect heirloom, to read aloud every Christmas and never cease to admire.

Book Details

Synopsis

Every year in December, J.R.R. Tolkien’s children received letters from Father Christmas. They came in dusty envelopes, with North Pole stamps, and in them Father Christmas recounted (and drew) his adventures, his troubles with the Polar Bear, battles with goblins, and life in his cliff-top home.

This special edition of the book collects all the extraordinary drawings and letters, from the first note to his eldest son in 1920 to the last moving correspondence with his daughter in 1943, in one wonderful edition.

This Deluxe Edition includes:

  • A spectacular hardcover binding with Tolkien illustrations and silver embossing.

  • A matching illustrated slipcase, with a facsimile of a North Pole stamp.

  • All the drawings, paintings, letters, and envelopes sent by Father Christmas reproduced in color, some for the first time.

  • An exclusive fold-out showcasing all the North Pole stamps.

  • Revised introduction, definitive text, and a new design.

  • Printed on superior quality paper and an elegant ribbon bookmark.

A limited edition that will only be available for a time.
