"There's still no one quite like Tolkien, and this utterly charming tale will please readers of all ages." School Library Journal
Tolkien¿s acclaimed modern classic `fairie¿ tale, read by Derek Jacobi.While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To 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, went through several drafts over the years. Now, many years on, the adventures of Rover ¿ or, for reasons that become clear in the story, `Roverandom¿ ¿ are performed by Sir Derek Jacobi.
