Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. "Roverandom" recounts the tale of a little dog who is magically transformed into a toy and has many fantastic adventures in search of the wizard who wronged him. Illustrations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Tolkien Author Bio: John Ronald Reuel Tolkien CBE FRSL (3 January 1892 - 2 September 1973) was an English writer and philologist. H…e was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. From 1925 to 1945, Tolkien was the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and a Fellow of Pembroke College, both at the University of Oxford. He then moved within the same university to become the Merton Professor of English Language and Literature and Fellow of Merton College, and held these positions from 1945 until his retirement in 1959. Tolkien was a close friend of C. S. Lewis, a co-member of the informal literary discussion group The Inklings. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 March 1972. Synopsis: Roverandom is a novella by J. R. R. Tolkien, originally told in 1925, about the adventures of a young dog, Rover. In the story, an irritable wizard turns Rover into a toy, and Rover goes to the Moon and under the sea in order to find the wizard again to turn him back into a normal-sized dog. The author wrote Roverandom for his son Michael to amuse him upon the loss of his favourite toy, a little leaden dog which he lost on a beach of grey shingle stones the same size and colour as the toy. The work is in tone a children's story, but contains many allusions and references in the manner of Farmer Giles of Ham. It was submitted for publication in 1937 after the success of The Hobbit, but was not published for over sixty years, finally being released in 1998. Roverandom was included in the collection Tales from the Perilous Realm from its 2009 reprinting onwards.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition, first printing, published by Harpercollins in 1998. A beautiful little story written in 1925, before even The Hobbit, about a dog named Rover, turned into a toy dog by a wizard, and the ensuing adventures to find the wizard again. The…story first came about while on a family holiday. His son Michael was upset about losing his toy dog on a beach, so Tolkien came up with the story to make him feel better. Tolkien even created illustrations for the story and attempted to have it published after The Hobbit, but it remained unpublished until long after his death. This is the first printing, published on the 5th of January 1998. Unclipped dust jacket, tiny nick to the bottom edge, some very faint marks, otherwise tidy, dark green cloth effect covers with bright gilt title to spine, slight lean, securely bound. Pages a little age toned, but otherwise smart, no inscriptions. Very good condition.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Roverandom (Advance Uncorrected Proof) J.R.R. Tolkien. Edited by Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond. Published Houghton Mifflin, 1998. This Book is in Near Fine Condition. Bound in White and blue Wraps. Pages remain clean and unmarked; spine, uncreased. From the Preface, "When Rover,… a real dog, is transformed into a toy by a wizard, Rover sets out to locate him in order to correct the wrong that has been done and find a way to become a real dog once more." Roverandom is a short children's story by J.R.R. Tolkien published posthumously in 1998. Originally told in 1925 - and written down in 1927 - the story tells of the adventures of the dog Rover who is turned into a toy by the wizard Artaxerxes. Rover goes on adventures to the moon and the bottom of the Deep Blue Sea on his quest to undo his bewitchment. Tolkien wrote Roverandom for his second son, Michael, to console him for the loss of his own little black-and-white toy dog on a beach in Yorkshire. J.R.R.Tolkien was a prolific storyteller to his children, though few of his early stories survive. Roverandom was a particular favourite, so much so that Tolkien wrote it out and even illustrated it himself. But for over 70 years it has remained unpublished. Bearing many of the hallmarks which were to make The Hobbit such a classic ten years later, this delightful book is finally published together with Tolkien's own paintings and drawings. Introduced by Wayne Hammond and Christina Scull, authors of the acclaimed J.R.R.Tolkien: Artist & Illustrator, this book is destined to become a classic and will be welcomed by Tolkien fans of all ages. A nice must have collectable book.

Prima edizione italiana. Roverandom è una breve storia scritta da J.R.R. Tolkien nel 1925. Racconta le avventure di un giovane cane, di nome Rover che, trasf…ormato in un minuscolo giocattolo da un mago, affronta una tumultuosa girandola di avventure. Rover finisce nella vetrina di un negozio di giocattoli, poi tra le mani di un bambino che lo smarrisce. Cominciano così le mirabolanti peripezie di Roverandom, come viene ribattezzato, che lo portano a viaggiare a dorso di gabbiano fino alla luna, dove impara a volare, e poi in un palazzo sottomarino abitato da fate, gnomi e sirene. Solo allora Roverandom potrà realizzare il suo desiderio più grande rompere l'incantesimo e tornare a casa come un cane.
