Description
Roverandom is a charming tale about a toy dog's adventures. In 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on holiday, and his father, J.R.R.Tolkien, created a story to console him. The story follows Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and must seek out the wizard who wronged him. Told with wit and wordplay, this delightful tale features Tolkien's own illustrations. Nearly 90 years after its creation, Roverandom has been published in a pocket hardback edition, edited and introduced by Tolkien experts Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond.
