Review:

"There's still no one quite like Tolkien, and this utterly charming tale will please readers of all ages." School Library Journal

From the Back Cover:

In 1925, while the Tolkien’s were on holiday at Filey in Yorkshire, four-year-old Michael lost his beloved little toy dog. To comfort him, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote 'Roverandom', a story about a real dog, Rover, who is turned into a toy by a wizard. When dropped on the beach by a small boy, the toy is transported to the moon along the path of light the moon makes when it shines over the sea. The Man in the Moon renames him ‘Roverandom’ and gives him wings.

Roverandom sets out on a series of adventures, encountering the Great White Dragon and other moon fauna like giant spiders and dragon moths. Finally, back on earth, Roverandom travels under the sea inside Uin, oldest of the whales, to ask the wizard who changed him into a toy to undo the spell.

‘'Lord of the Rings' buffs will enjoy picking out bits of Nordic mythology and will relish Tolkien’s fabulous sense of landscape.’
