The first ever B-format edition of Tolkien's complete Father Christmas letters, including a new introduction and rare archive materials. Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R.Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house! Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note, and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script, adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. To mark ten years since the publication of the complete edition of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas in 1999, this new edition is the first time the letters have been available in B format.
##平安夜那天在牛津买的,书店里的女孩说这是她每年圣诞节都会拿出来读一遍的书。在回程的火车上读了一半,今晚读完了后一半,有点伤感,孩子们一个个长大了,都不再给圣诞老爸写信了;在那样战火纷飞的年代每年能收到北极星,圣诞老人和精灵秘书们的故事也是一件很令人开心的事情了吧。
评分##真的太有爱了 The magic will always be alive if you have a parent like Tolkien.
