Letters from Father Christmas (LFC)

• J.R.R. Tolkien, (editor) Baillie Tolkien; 1999

A book of Christmas letters that Tolkien wrote to his children. One of these letters, written in 1929, includes a sentence written in the “Arctic” language. In form, it resembles the Quenya of this time period, and most scholars consider it an example of that language, though perhaps somewhat simplified.
