Hi all,

I need a good resolution image of the "J. R. R. Tolkien's Father Christmas" puzzle illustrated by J. R. R. Tolkien (made by International Polygonics under the "Underground Puzzle" brand in the late 1970s) for an article I am finishing up. Does anyone have the puzzle or an image of it that can help me out?

thanks!

Hi Graham,

I haven't seen that particular poster, but I have sent a note off to a few long-time collectors that may well have seen it or have a copy. I'll let you know if I hear anything back. It does sound interesting!

Hello all,

Has anyone, by any chance, ever seen a poster called, I think, West of the Moon, East of the Sun? I had a copy back in about 1973/4. It was painted in gold on brown paper (sounds odd but it was very beautiful) of a knight on horseback (elven or Numenorean I suppose), holding a damsel sitting in front of him. They were on the shores of Middle Earth and there was an island in the distance, presumably Numenor. I have been looking for a copy for years.

Of all the Tolkein illustrations I have seen, this was the most beautiful and I would dearly like to find it.

Many thanks,

Graham Senior-Milne
