Tolkien’s fantasy story about the adventures of a bewitched toy dog, written before The Hobbit. While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo 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, was Tolkien’s first full-length children’s book, written before The Hobbit. Now, nearly 90 years later, the adventures of Rover – or, for reasons that become clear in the story, ‘Roverandom’ – are published in this delightful pocket hardback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Tolkien experts Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond, and includes Tolkien’s own delightful illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: J .R.R Tolkien\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFantasy\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 27 Jun 2013 by HarperCollins Publishers.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"J .R.R Tolkien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57570134360442,"sku":"9780007523283","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780007523283.jpg?v=1794764483","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/roverandom-9780007523283","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
