Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
Why did this book have to end? This is probably one of those rare books which I hoped would never end. I had no idea this book was so awesome, otherwise I would have picked it long back.
-> perfect read for Christmas. This book put me in Christmas mood
-> I might reread this book every Christmas. Yes, it is that awesome.
-> Tolkien was a great father. His children were lucky to receive such great letters from him for Christmas
-> Tolkien was a great artist too and not just writer. The illustrations and pictures in this book were done so well. I had no idea before reading this book that he was THAT good. Some of the pictures were stunning. If not for the text, get this book just for the pictures.
-> The book has letters but these are no ordinary letters. The letters have short stories in them involving polar bear, elves, goblins, cave bear and so many other wonderful characters. Even poems are there.
-> As children grew up, the number of people to whom the letters were addressed decreased and for some reason, that made me sad. I guess I knew once all the children grew up, these letters would stop and that was a sad feeling. He wrote letters for 23 years or so! Wow!
-> Tolkien's handwriting is so good. This book has scanned versions of all the original letters.
-> one of my favorite Tolkien books for sure.
