Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
4 Holiday Stars!
Absolutely endearing to know that a father, let alone an infamous author, invested so much time and energy and creative effort to keep his kids’ beliefs in all the wonders of Christmas alive for as long as possible.
This book shows the real letters and the impressive effort Tolkien made to do different handwritings for Father Christmas, a mischievous polar bear helper, and an elf. Not only did he create a goblin alphabet, he also did many personal drawings depicting snapshots of daily life and adventurous mishaps at the North Pole that were impressive regarding the attention to the minute details.
I’m in awe with this heart warming collection showcasing a father’s love for his children and urge you to check it out to enjoy the feel good afterglow!
