Overview

In 1923, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach. To console him, his father, J.R.R.

Now, more than seventy years later, the adventures of Rover have been published for the first time. Rich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Christina Scull and Wayne G.
