“Tolkien at his relaxed and ingenious best.”
— The Times of London

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. Now, for the first time, these letters are brought to life with specially arranged holiday music. Each letter is a masterpiece of creative whimsy, featuring elaborate drawings by Tolkien himself, depicting the chaotic happenings at the North Pole year after year. The Polar Bear's antics, the elves' mishaps, and Father Christmas's patient responses create a world of warmth and imagination that captures the essence of childhood wonder.
