J.R.R. Tolkien`s fantasy story about the adventures of a bewitched toy dog, written before The Hobbit. While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To console him, his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy & is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a s&-sorcerer & a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea & the Man-in-the-Moon, was Tolkien`s first full-length children`s book, written before The Hobbit. Now, nearly 90 years later, the adventures of Rover
- or, for reasons that become clear in the story, ` Roverandom`
- are published in this delightful pocket hardback edition. Rich in wit & wordplay, Roverandom is edited & introduced by Tolkien experts Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, &
