J.R.R. Tolkien Was Father Christmas


 "Sometimes the envelopes, dusted with snow and bearing Polar postage stamps, were found in the house on the morning after his visit; sometimes the postman brought them; and letters that the children wrote themselves vanished from the fireplace when no one was about."



Thank you to Marcia Vogler
