Between 1920 and 1942, J. R. R. Tolkien wrote a series of letters to his children purportedly from Father Christmas, in which he told them about his life at the North Pole and his helpers and acquaintances - most prominently the good-hearted but accident-prone North Polar Bear. The letters were illustrated by Tolkien himself in his idiosyncratic style.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })With the public appetite for more Tolkien writings after his death in 1973, the Letters were collected and published in 1976. An expanded version with more material, re-titled Letters from Father Christmas, was released in 2004. | |

Author Tract: In one letter, Father Christmas spends some time talking about how much he dislikes cars. This is probably Tolkien's own views shining through; famously he hated cars and shortly after World War II sold off the family car and carried on most of his life by bicycle. | |

Art Shift/Unconventional Formatting: Used by Tolkien to make it seem as though more than one person contributed to the letters. Father Christmas' handwriting is particularly trembly, although his hand usually steadies up when he has to draw anything; his secretary's notes in the margins are written in a neat, flowing hand and in a different color of ink; the North Polar Bear writes with vaguely runic block letters, and draws in a similarly bold and angular style. | |
