Roverandom-Special Hardcover Edition

The first children's story written by JRR Tolkien.

In 1925. , four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his favorite toy dog on the beach. To console his son, JRR Tolkien made up a story about a dog named Rover, who was turned into a toy by magic, and his search for the wizard who could turn him back to his former self.

Rover, or "Roverandom" as he was later known, was a He encounters the sand wizard, a fearsome dragon, the king in the sea, and the Man in the Moon. Although Roverandom, cleverly woven and adorned with word games, was initially planned to be published in January 1937, the same year as The Hobbit, the work could not be published because the publishers wanted a sequel. Tolkien started writing The Lord of the Rings instead. Roverandom was finally published in 1998.

“Lord of the Rings fans will enjoy the inspirations from Norse mythology and Tolkien's wonderful sense of space.” – The Times - 

This edition, edited by Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond, includes a preface detailing the story's relationship with Tolkien's other works: The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and Letters from Santa Claus. In addition to these, illustrations by Tolkien accompany the texts.
