Roverandom by J.R.R. Tolkien was written for his son, Michael, who while on vacation lost his favorite toy - a little dog. To console him, Tolkien improvised a story - the story or Rover, a real dog magically transformed into a toy. After many fantastic adventures in search of the wizard who transformed him, he finally wins back his doggy life. The story was originally written in 1925 and submitted to the Tolkien's publisher. But the publishers really wanted a follow-up to The Hobbit and the story of Rover was set aside to begin work on The Lord of The Rings.
Published at last, the book features five illustrations by Tolkien including three in colour.
