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. ![]() Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches.

The first ever paperback edition of Tolkien’s complete Father Christmas letters, including a new introduction and rare archive materials. ![]()
