  • Roverandom is a great book and must read for any Tolkien fan. I highly recommend it. The book was originally written for his youngest son, who ultimately lost interest, about the boys lost toy dog. He finished the story though as both he and his older son had fallen in love with the tale. It's great to see some new art emerge for this great story.
