Father Christmas

This is a great classic. I was given this book as a child and I wanted a copy for my son. It is really poetic and fun. It is a true Christmas classic. I still have my copy of this book. The images are so beautiful that I keep it in my library and enjoy perusing it. I am glad to share this tale with my son.

This is a wonderful Christmas book. The art in it is adorable with many amusing details. All my children love this book

The children love it

I first read the German version of this book decades ago and loved reading it auf Deutsch to my children who were more or less bilingual at the time. I searched for it on Google to send to my grandson and was amused to find out that it was written by an Englishman. Wonderful, amusing interpretation of Santa's annual activities.

Love this book!

I spent several years of my childhood in England, and so Father Christmas was the one who brought the gifts (eventhough during wartime these were few and small.) To rediscover the good old fellow much later in life is a special treat:all thoseminor curses under his breath! What fun. And the illustrations are perfect. Ah! to be a child again!

These people rock, I didn't get this book for a long time, ordered it never got here. I wrote and told them it's a special book for My English son in law and his son, because it has a great childhood memory for him I want him to share with his son. They stayed right with me until I did get the book. It's wonderful and in good shape and I'm happy with it.

I learned belatedly that this was apparently the first of Briggs' books. I love them all, so of course I had to add this. (I already had "Father Christmas Goes on Holiday".) If you're a Briggs fan and haven't read his homage to his parents, "Ethel and Ernest", I recommend that, too. It's in the same vein and runs from their dating days to . . . well, no spoilers here.

An absolute delightful Christmas classic, to enjoy time and time again. Loved sharing this with our little boy and brought back memories of looking at it with my mum and dad as a child.

Auch das Miniformat ist sehr gefällig

Love this book.

Me ha gustado mucho, es muy simpático, aconsejo comprar el libro de tapa blanda porque tiene el mismo gran tamaño que el de los años 80 y se pueden apreciar bien los dibujos. Todo un clásico.

Curiosando tra i libri del bimbo di una cara amica che vive in Giappone ho trovato Father Christmas e l'ho praticamente DIVORATO, ridendo a crepapelle e provando anche un grande sentimento di tenerezza. E' divertente, è non convenzionale e umanizza la magia del Natale, senza togliere nulla alla fantasia.Non poteva mancare nella mia libreria!ADORO!
