Sensational!. I loved this and my daughter has snatched it away to read (ignoring her homework)! A book to keep forever.
This was quite charming and sweet, but slightly dated. It might be a nice book to read to children before Christmas, but think about it before you do it. If my parents had read this to me as a child, I would definitely have expected letters from Father Christmas to arrive on my doormat and there would be trouble if they didn't!

"Letters From Father Christmas" had a number of plus points for me. The idea is quite simple - a collection of letters and illustrations by J.J.R.Tolkien, in the guise of Father Christmas, to his children. However, the letters are not only about Father Christmas, but are full of delightful details about the Polar Bear and his exploits and also the mayhem caused by Goblins. The imaginative writing of this master storyteller gives us hints of what is in store in "The Hobbit" and his other works.
