Mr. Bliss

[Ledreanne313]

Has anyone ever read Mr. Bliss? I LOVE that book. It is really funny. It is a childrens book, yet it is cool how it is put together. They put Tolkien's original copy on one side (including drawn pictures by him) and on the other, a typed version for he writes sloppy and scribbles a lot.

I've never even heard of it. It seems to have been given the same treatment as Letters From Father Christmas.

edit: I just looked it up on www.Amazon.co.uk and it's there, but no-one has written a review yet. Tolkien wrote and illustrated it for his children when they were very young.

What, with Fr Christmas letters, complete with paintings, and Mr Bliss, as well as all of life's other distractions, no wonder he couldn't get the Silmarillion finished! What a great dad!
