- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
I adore Tolkien.
This book is full of letters from Father Christmas over the span of his children's childhoods. It's full of adventures and fun characters and all of the crazy happenings in the North Pole. It also adds some historical context for what was happening each year as the books went on (it covers several years of WWII for example and the Great Depression).
It's absolutely brilliant and I think everyone should get to experience this.
Definitely one to add to my "Yearly Christmas Reads"!
