Literary Letters

I love Christmas, I love Christmas books (of which I have a small collection), and I love JRR Tolkein. Spotted in one of my favourite websites was a  note on Tolkein's collection of Letters From Father Christmas, handwritten letters that Tolkein wrote over 20 years to his sons. They are enchanting and I love his whimsical illustrations and imaginative penmanship.



I followed the link on the book to a fantastic blog (to which I have now subscribed) called Letters of Note. Take a look! To read one of Tolkein's gorgeously illustrated letters, visit the blog here.
