RoverandomIn 1925, four year old Michael 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 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, endured several drafts over the years.
