A beloved children's tale by The Hobbit author

Rover never ought to have chewed the wizard's pants. He was made into a toy as a punishment, and now he has to find the magician to go back to his original shape. He will meet many amazing—and dangerous—creatures on his travels to the moon and under the sea.

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote this endearing story long before The Hobbit, motivated by the death of his own child's favorite toy, but it was never published for almost 70 years. Complete notes on the narrative and an introduction are included in this new paperback edition.

Even though this is an ancient tale, it still has relevance today and would come to life when told to a young audience. - Self-sufficient

Rings of the Lord Fans of the author will appreciate identifying snippets of Nordic mythology and marveling at Tolkien's amazing sense of place - THE TIMES
