'''''[[Roverandom]]''''' is a short children's story by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] published posthumously in [[1998]]. Originally told in [[1925]] - and written down in [[1927]] - it was created for Tolkien's his second son, [[Michael Tolkien|Michael]], to console him for the loss of his own little black-and-white toy dog on a beach in Yorkshire.

The story tells about a real dog, [[Rover]], who is turned into a toy by the wizard [[Artaxerxes]]. When dropped on the beach by a small boy, the toy is transported to the moon along the path of light the [[Moon#In other stories|moon]] makes when it shines over the sea. The [[Man-in-the-Moon]] renames him 'Roverandom' and gives him wings, beginning a series of adventures on his quest to undo his bewitchment.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]]''' · [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>

Cover of the first edition

Roverandom is a short children's story by J.R.R. Tolkien published posthumously in 1998. Originally told in 1925 - and written down in 1927 - it was created for Tolkien's his second son, Michael, to console him for the loss of his own little black-and-white toy dog on a beach in Yorkshire.

The story tells about a real dog, Rover, who is turned into a toy by the wizard Artaxerxes. When dropped on the beach by a small boy, the toy is transported to the moon along the path of light the moon makes when it shines over the sea. The Man-in-the-Moon renames him 'Roverandom' and gives him wings, beginning a series of adventures on his quest to undo his bewitchment.

Featured Quote
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

— Haldir in The Fellowship of the Ring, "Lothlórien"
