A Christmas of Books:

Did you know JRR Tolkien wrote Father Christmas (Santa) letters to his children every year? The video below, shows some of the letters and illustrations from a new book about it.

Happy Holidays!

Below are a couple of videos of book-themed holiday trees. The first has adult books and the second has kid’s books. There are more on my YouTube channel.

Finally, INTO THE LAND OF SNOWS is on sale this month. $.99 Kindle and $9.99 Print.

  Yes, it’s probably the shortest thing he wrote. I gifted this to my son who is a Tolkien fan.
