While on holiday in 1925 four year-old Micheal Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach. 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 to return him to normal.
This charming tale, peopled by sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the Moon, went through several drafts over he years. Now, more than 70 years on, the adventures of Rover - or, for reasons that become clear in the story, "Roverandom" - are published for the first time.
This book by J.R.R. Tolkien is very hard to find and it would be great it you could post it on your site.
thank you
