Overview

In 1923, 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, went through several drafts over the years. Now, more than seventy years later, the adventures of Rover have been published for the first time. Rich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Christina Scull and Wayne G.
