Prese due edizioni.
Per la deluxe in cofanetto, la più cara, mi sarei aspettato una cura maggiore. Il progetto editoriale è delizioso, ma la mia copia, come leggo è capitato a tanti, ha la scritta sulla costola scentrata e il francobollo (delizioso anche lui) applicato sul cofanetto centrato male a sua volta, ovvero sporgente dall’incavo progettato per ospitarlo, altra lamentela che vedo alquanto diffusa. Un vero peccato.L’edizione del centenario invece è impeccabile. Molto esposta a danneggiamenti nel corso del trasporto, e vedo che molti clienti hanno avuto dei problemi al riguardo, nel mio caso sono sono stato fortunato e la mia copia è arrivata iperprotetta, quindi incolume. Ipotizzo che si siano accorti del problema e abbiano preso provvedimenti. Donde le cinque stelle piene.

good choice for collectors
Not a big difference (despite the size) btwn this edition and the “standard” hardcover edition. A good choice if you find it at discount

Imagine that a father makes sure that his children get a letter from Santa Claus (or Father Christmas, as he’s often known in the UK) every year. Heartwarming thought, isn’t it? Now imagine that that father is the highly-educated and incredibly talented J.R.R. Tolkien, author of the internationally-acclaimed classics “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings,” among many other works.Tolkien had four children and always encouraged them to write letters to Father Christmas when the holiday season approached, and with his help, Father Christmas wrote back – not to mention other characters, such as his bumbling but lovable assistant the North Polar Bear and his elf secretary Ilbereth. Each letter is lovingly handwritten, with each character having their own special lettering style, and often in multiple colors – this book reproduces the letters’ colors.But that’s not all. The letters often included illustrations of the goings-on at the North Pole. Tolkien often illustrated the envelope as well, drawing a special “North Pole” stamp and sometimes other graphics. These are all included in this book. As the years went by, the fanciful world of Father Christmas at the North Pole grew, and he had to contend with the Man in the Moon dropping by for unannounced visits or even with attacks by the mischievous Goblins who lived in the caverns below his home.To make reading easier, the text of the letters is also printed on pages opposite the reproductions of the letters, but you’ll want to look at both, to see the illustrations and graphical additions that Tolkien included as he let his fantastic imagination expand the world of Father Christmas. This material was first published in 1976, but this is the centenary edition, published in 2020, as the first letter was “sent” in 1920, when Tolkien’s first child was three years old. He kept writing these until the final poignant letter of 1943, when his youngest child was on the verge of being too old for Father Christmas. But still, Father Christmas always looks forward to the time when they will have children of their own, and to bringing gifts and sending letters to them.Heartwarming and relentlessly creative holiday cheer for all ages from a master, in a beautiful hardcover edition with a bookmark ribbon. I heartily recommend this book if you have children, know any children, or ever were a child. Edited by Baillie Tolkien, second wife of J.R.R.’s son Christopher.

Primeramente, no es un libro sobre la Tierra Media, es una rareza para los fanáticos del autor.Esta edición es muy hermosa, tiene las cartas de Tolkien para sus hijos en navidad; de un lado viene la carta original con una calidad excelente y en la otra la transcripción. No tengo quejas sobre el libro, es excelente trabajo de recopilación.Mi queja es el envío por parte de Amazon; el libro no tenía plástico protector y tampoco lo empacaron con algún plástico de burbujas o almohadillas para que no se golpeara, llegó todo maltratado y me decepcionó porque siempre me han llegado los productos bien cuidados.

Este libro es precioso!Tal y como promete, es una edición muy bien hecha.Hay copias de las cartas originales (que Papa Noel enviaba a los hijos de Tolkien), con dibujos y anotaciones originales.Cada año que pasa las cartas son más complejas ya que la edad de los hijos va siendo cada vez mayor, pero todas ellas són muy bonitas, y amenas.Sin duda lo recomiendo.

I do love the whole concept: The idea, the illustrations, the text and the thoughts that is laying behind the whole book.Father Cristmas is no longer a man that once a year is dumping down the chimney and says “ho ho, are there any child here that has been kind the whole year?” and leaves some gifts before he is rushing on to the next chimney.My grandchildren would have been exited, despite their age and the fact that they stopped beliving in him for years ago.I wish there are enou adults whith the same excitement.I have bougt one book as a present for them and one for my self – luckily I have kept the same exitement for childrens litterature with high quality.
