Description
Roverandom is a classic children’s fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, written years before The Hobbit. When a small dog named Rover bites a wizard’s trouser leg, he is magically transformed into a toy and swept into a series of extraordinary adventures in search of a way back to his true form. His journey takes him to the Moon, beneath the sea, and into encounters with strange, whimsical, and sometimes dangerous creatures. Inspired by the loss of Tolkien’s own son’s toy, this enchanting tale blends imagination, humor, and mythic storytelling. Though written in the 1920s, Roverandom remained unpublished for over seventy years. This edition includes a full introduction and detailed notes on the story’s origins.
