Reader's note

When Tokien’s eldest son, John, was three years old in 192, the first of The Father Christmas Letters arrived, addressed from the North Pole. For over twenty years the annual news appeared, stamped with its Polar stamp, set out in its unmistakable script (a bit shaky as Father Christmas, after all, was nearly two thousand years old, quite apart from the weather) and decorated with paintings and sketches. The text of the letters, many of them in facsimile, and the colour pictures are brought together in this book. They describe local problems and events, tell of Father Christmas;s assistance North Polar Bear, and his riotous nephew, of the radining gobins and the elves who came to the rescue. And there’s a Giblin alphabet which you may use too.
