From Santa to JRR Tolkien's children

I'm a big fan of JRR Tolkien. Really enjoyed The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings Trilogy and most recently the newly released Children of Hurin. Tolkien really was the first to get me reading novels.

I was mildly shocked to hear that Father Christmas used to write letters with stories and pictures to Tolkien's children every year. In fact they've been published in a book: Letters From Father Christmas.

I've bought the hardcover edition. It could inspire a Scrooge or two as it really captures the spirit of the season.
