The Father Christmas Letters
Allen & Unwin, 1976.
First edition. Glazed pictorial boards. Illustrated in colour throughout by Tolkien. A very near fine copy, bright and crisp, with lettering unfaded, remnants of a price sticker to the rear board.
This book reproduces the illustrated letters which Tolkien wrote each year for his children. The letters tell of Father Christmas and his helpers and are a delight to read.
It contains the majority of letters that Tolkien wrote to his children from 1920 to 1943, both reproduced in colour and also (up to 1939) transcribed.
