Letters from Father Christmas

The complete series of Father Christmas letters written by JRR Tolkien for his own children between 1920 and 1943.


This tape comprises a festive reading of letters written by Tolkien to his children, in the guise of Father Christmas, over a period of twenty years.


The letters tell the adventures – and misadventures! – of Father Christmas’s life at the North Pole, and of his helpers – the mischievous North Polar Bear and sensible Ilbereth the Elf.


The letters are perfect for reading aloud, with plenty of humour. They also interspersed with carols and Christmassy music to give a real seasonal feel.
