Roverandom Written By : J. R. R. Tolkien Narrator : Derek Jacobi Published By : Harper Collins UK Length : 2 hours 30 minutes Type : Classics Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Magic Classic Literature Price : $12.75 Buy Now! While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To console him, his father, J.R.R.Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, went through several drafts over the years. Now, many years on, the adventures of Rover – or, for reasons that become clear in the story, ‘Roverandom’ – are published on audiobook for  the first time.
