Christian Hoening is a seasoned German actor and voice artist who has been a staple of German television, film, and theater for over four decades. Born in 1947 in Munich, he has a “deep, brumming” baritone voice (often described as a bass-baritone).

Christian Hoening provides a gentle, rhythmic narration. Unlike the multi-cast English version, this is a solo reading, but Hoening distinguishes between the tired, elder voice of Father Christmas and the energetic commentary of the North Polar Bear.

This is an abridged selection of the letters (Gekürzte Lesung), focusing on the highlights from 1925 to 1938.

This release is Volume 4 of a six-part series published by Der Hörverlag titled Tolkiens kleinere Werke (Tolkien’s Smaller Works). The series includes:
