'''''[[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.

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"
