This audio comprises a festive reading of letters written by Tolkein to his children, in the guise of Father Christmas, over a period of twenty years.

The letters tell the adventures – and misadventures! – of Father Christmas’s life at the North Pole, and of his helpers – the mischievous North Polar Bear and sensible Ilbereth the Elf.

The letters are perfect for reading aloud, with plenty of humor. They also interspersed with carols and Christmassy music to give a real seasonal feel.
