“And because he had not said please to the wizard, now all day long he had to sit up and beg”
so-soRoverrandom by J.R.R Tolkien is a speculative fiction book written in 1992. It is based off of a story that the authors father told him when he lost his toy on vacation. Roverandom follows a dog who is turned into a toy by a wizard and goes on many adventures, including living on the moon. Roverandom searches for the wizard who turned him, and learns many lessons along the way.
pick4✨ What a cute story. A story Tolkien wrote for his son who lost his little toy dog. The story follows Rover on an adventure when he is lost by his little boy. It‘s so cute and something similar happened to me as a kid. #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
Finally, I‘m getting around to this one. 😅 #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
"I was the first dog that was ever called Rover, thousands of years ago-so you must have been called Rover after me! I was a Rover, too! I never would stop anywhere, or belong to anyone before I came here. I did nothing but run away from the time I was a puppy; and I kept on running and roving until one fine morning - a very fine morning, with the sun in my eyes - I fell over the world's edge chasing a butterfly."

This was a lovely sweet children‘s book which reminds me so much of the stories my mum read me. It had just the right amount of fairy tale whimsy and all the time I was listening I could imagine myself age 7 or 8 giggling along and finding it exciting. I‘ve never read a child a bedtime story (I‘m interested in trying but never had the necessary child to hand) but I reckon this would be a perfect bedtime story
I‘m moving next week, so I‘m working on packing all the things that spark joy! Y‘know, I have so many nice empty boxes still saved from the last move, but I‘m finding almost all of them are too large to stuff heavy books in...😕

My loot yesterday at the Tolkien exibition. Less than l wanted to, but still not bad.
I couldn't resist those adorable little editions. I already own both stories, but only in ltalian.
I almost didn't get the earrings, but then l thought those were the only things special of the exibition and l'd regret it if l didn't get them.
Didn't get the catalogo. Too expensive and too heavy (airplane, you know). I'll get it online.
Started my birthday re-read and re-watch of my Tolkien collection today.
This was the story that showed me the way to Middle Earth. A little children's story about a dog and his adventures in space and under the sea. Eight year old me read this countless times.
Not super old, but not new either! I really love these cover designs! #oldcoolbooks #dustjackets @Linsy

Really enjoyed this little story. I particularly liked the parts on the moon. There is mystery and epic and poetry more than in the rest of the story.

I'm really enjoying this little story. There is a strong sense of fairy tale, and still there are passages of pure poetry.
I love the description of the moon. So imaginative.

Well, apparently my copy of Tales of the Perilous Realm is very different from the copy @Riveted_Reader_Melissa used to make our schedule for the readalog. So l had to integrate some parts 😊
Gollum holds my latest find to add to my Tolkien collection. Maybe he has found a new "Precious"?! ??
pickThis is a really sweet little book that Tolkien wrote for his son about a puppy who bit the wrong wizard's trousers and became a toy by way of enchantment. He makes friends and travels to fascinating places before finding the wizard again and asking to be changed back to how he was before. This is a great book for children and adults alike! #LitsyAtoZ
Not sure when this happened, but you guys are amazing! I love my Litsy community!
pickRoverandom is so little-known, but it's beautiful! Tolkien wrote it for his son Michael. It's a fantastic romp about a dog trying to break a wizard's curse, and it goes to the moon to the ocean floor, and through several proto-LoTR elements. And of course, the writing awesome.
