I love this because it prompted "Father Christmas" to write similar letters to my own child over several years and because it kindled the flames of Tolkien fandom in my child, and thus, albeit to a lesser extent, me.

When I first started reading this I thought what a fantastic idea, one I wish I has thought of when my children were young. Soon though I was caught up in the letters, waiting for the further adventures of polar bear and the cubs, the goblins and the old Ancient bear as well as the happenings on the North Pole.

Sin embargo, ocurre que cuando un libro es tierno, también puede producir nostalgia y tristeza a la vez. Me causo nostalgia al hacerme recordar mi infancia, en donde con esa inocencia que tenía, hacia una lista de tres páginas con regalos imposibles. Y en cuanto a la tristeza, es porque naturalmente esos niños, igual que todos nosotros, se enteraron de la verdad y toda esa aventura llego a su fin. Las despedidas o finales de ciclo, siempre me producen tristeza. When it comes to Christmas, a Lapland Letter from Santa will make this year more 'Fantastical' than ever.

My child had pirate Lego, Ancient Egyptian Lego, and Star Wars Lego amongst others, but really wanted Roman Lego. For several years, they wrote to Father Christmas, asking for some. Each year, Father Christmas found it harder to come up with a new excuse - especially once said child knew the truth of Father Christmas and presented ever more challenging arguments as to why the elves could surely make it, and that there would be many other enthusiastic recipients. Eventually, Father Christmas said that most Roman things were ruins now, so they could just use regular Lego as ruins!

The Monsters and the Critics, and Other Essays · Beowulf and the Critics · Tolkien On Fairy-stories · Tolkien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples. Through this secondary world Tolkien writes perceptively of universal human concerns – love and loss, courage and betrayal, humility and pride – giving his books a wide and enduring appeal. My child's purest inventions were Sitty the cat - for whom they tried to sneak real cat food into my shopping basket - and Sitty's friend, Ruffy the dog.
