A major event for fantasy lovers everywhere--a previously unpublished book-length romp by the author of "The Hobbit". In 1925, while on vacation on the Yorkshire coast, Tolkien's four-year-old son Michael loses his favorite toy, a little lead dog. To console and distract him, his father improvises a story--the tale of Rover, a real dog magically transformed into toy, who has many fantastic adventures while searching for the wizard who wronged him. Color & black and white plates.
Review:
"..."Roverandom" will be of interest mainly to Tolkein completists, but it has sufficient charms to satisfy those who want one more literary snippet from the creator of Middle Earth."
Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

Book Description: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), United States, 1998. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 227 x 139 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In 1925, while on vacation with his family on the Yorkshire coast, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his favorite toy, a little lead dog he was reluctant to put down even to dig in the sand. To console and distract him, his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, improvised a story -- the story of Rover, a real dog magically transformed into a toy, who, after many fantastic adventures in search of the wizard who wronged him, at last wins back his life. This charming tale, peopled by a wise old whale and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, was a Tolkien family favorite, going through several typewritten drafts over many years. In 1936, Tolkien submitted it to his British publishers as a possible follow-up to "The Hobbit." What his publishers really wanted, however, was another sotry about Middle-earth, and so he set aside this litle book to begin his masterwork, "The Lord of the Rings."Now, seventy years after it was written, the story of Rover -- or as the Man-in-the-Moon fondly called him, Roverandom -- is published at last, together with five illustrations by the author. Rich in wit and wordplay, crowded with thrilling and humorous incident, "Roverandum" will delight not only Tolkien's countless admirers but anyone who loves a rollicking yarn well told.
