Product Description:
In 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach. To console him, his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, endured several drafts over the years. Now, more than seventy years later, the adventures of Rover are published for the first time. Rich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond and illustrated with Tolkien's own delightful drawings.

So much fun for adults and kids. I read this to my kid brother often and he loves it as much as I do.

Roverandom! A children's novel written by JRR Tolkien, but an actual event. No, his dog was not turned into a small toy, and sailed over the world, too the moon meeting the man in the tower, the great dragon, seagulls and gods, but by his Son, who had lost his toy dog on a family ... Read More

For people who like Tolkien's "other" stories like "Smith of Wooton Major", etc. this is a great book. It's amazing (or not) how much of his writing style shows a continuity throughout his works from a children's story to his epics.

A late start reading anything other than THe Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings prevented me from enjoying this when I was younger. This delightful story of a little dog's encounter with a grumpy wizard introduces us to the vageries of the "mystics". From the moon to under the sea to land, with a surprise ending, Roverandom experiences many things that make him glad to be a dog with his human friend. A fine read.
