He made marvelous illustrated letters for his children for years, Verangel. Yes, that was a fertile, fire-up imagination the man had, and varied ways of expressing it. Lucky us! I didn't know the extent of it until I got a Tolkien Christmas book a couple of years ago.
Here are links to posts I did last Christmas and the Christmas before about Tolkien's Christmas letters, which have some brief extracts and copies of selected fave illustrations....
