and Edith Tolkien.įirst published in 1976 and revised in 2004, it is a vibrant, full-colour showpiece of a book. Tolkien’s daughter-in-law Baillie, showing who Father Christmas was to the four young children of J.R.R. Letters from Father Christmasis a 111-page collection of writings and illustrations, edited by J.R.R. Hard as it becomes to recall, there was a time when it was impossible not to believe in him. To most children, however, in particular the very young, he is a living, breathing fairy tale, embodying the magic and wonder of our first conscious years. To others he is an unsettling discrepancy-the one stranger whom parents encourage them to sit with, and whom they allow to break into their home while they sleep. To some, he is an aloof disciplinarian, always watching, quill poised over the naughty list.
Father Christmas is many different personalities to children around the world.
