  • Roverandom ist ein 1998 posthum veröffentlichtes Kinderbuch des englischen Schriftstellers J. R. R. Tolkien. Die Geschichte des kleinen Hundes Rover, der in ein Spielzeug verwandelt wird, weil er sich schlecht gegenüber einem Zauberer benommen hat und sich dann auf eine abenteuerliche Reise begibt, um seine Originalgröße wiederzuerlangen, verfasste Tolkien 1925 für seinen Sohn Michael, um ihn über den Verlust seines Lieblingsspielzeugs hinwegzutrösten. Sie ist neben ihrer direkten Bedeutung als fantasievolles Werk der Kinderliteratur für die Tolkien-Forschung vor allem durch ihre parallele Entstehung mit dem bekannteren Buch Der kleine Hobbit interessant.

The rest of the book focuses on Rover's attempts to find the wizard so that things can be set right. Unfortunately for him, this means a massive journey into space and into the ocean depths. Despite it being penned early in Tolkien's career, it was never actually published until 1998. This may have been because Tolkien intended this story just for his 3 sons. Confused? Well, young Michael Tolkien had recently lost his beloved toy dog. Wanting to comfort the boy, his father improvised a story about the toy's origins as a real dog and it's further adventures once it got lost. His boys got a kick out of the yarn. The book, having accomplished its purpose was then shelved for over 60 years.
