Once upon a time there lived a man in England. To most he would be known as the author of one of the most popular and loved works of fiction in the 20th century. But to others, his children, he wrote something far more special. Every year for about twenty years, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien received personal letters and drawings from Father Christmas. And these letters and drawings have been compiled into a single book for our enjoyment and voyeurism.
