Originally written to his children between the 1920s and 1940s, these letters have been beautifully reworked to complement other cherished Tolkien titles.

Tolkien's children received a special envelope stamped from the North Pole, containing a letter in his unique spidery handwriting along with delightful drawings. The letters narrate whimsical adventures at the North Pole, including the North Polar Bear's antics, such as causing a massive explosion that turned the North Pole black, scattering presents, and even breaking the Moon into pieces. The Polar Bear often added his own humorous notes, while Ilbereth the Elf contributed elegant script, enriching the stories with charm. From the first note to Tolkien's eldest son in 1920 to the final heartfelt letter to his daughter in 1943, this collection brings together all the remarkable letters and illustrations in one enchanting volume. Readers of all ages will be captivated by the creativity and warmth of Tolkien's festive correspondence.
