Silmaril Father Christmas Letters: 1941

The letter for this year is longer and has an exciting story to tell, though no picture accompanies it. The address at the top hints at something: "Cliff House, near (stump of) North Pole".

Father Christmas mentions the war as the probable cause of children not writing to him. He says that so many people have lost their homes.

There was also war at the North Pole, the goblins again, of course. There are some interesting details to the tale: a great Horn called "Windbeam", that hadn't been blown for over 400 years; Polar Bear using fire and gunpowder to defeat the goblins and being the hero of the day; and the North Pole breaking again.

Father Christmas tells Priscilla about the difficulties in getting the presents requested - apparently she asked for specific books. Lal or any other Brits reading this, are you familiar with the "Alison Uttley" books or "Moldy Warp"? I've never heard of them.


Anyone still with me?
