توجه داشته باشید که این یه داستان کوتاه بادقت نوشته‌شده یا دارای معنی خاصی نیست، فقط سرهم شده بوده که یه بچه رو از فکر اسباب‌بازی گم‌شده‌اش در بیاره و توش از شیر مرغ تا جون آدمیزاد ممکنه پیدا بشه. از سگ پرنده بگیر تا پری دریایی تا اژدها تا یورمنگاندر و.... یه نکنه مهم اینه که این داستان بیش از اینکه نوشتاری باشه، یه داستان شفاهیه و یه سری از قسمت‌های کتاب مشخصاً برای بلند خونده‌شدن و اداهای تعریف داستان برای یه کودک رو نیاز داره که حس دقیقش رو بگیرید (کتاب صوتیش چیز خوبیه تا حدی در این راستا).
در همین راستای شفاهی بودن داستان، خیلی از بازی‌های با کلمات و اصوات توی بازگردانی از دست می‌ره و خب کاریش نمی‌شه کرد. ترجمه اثر هم روون هست اما اونقدر که باید دقیق نیست (وسواس شخصیم بگیرید برای تالکین) اما خب اثر مهمی هم نیست خیلی بخواید سخت بگیرید

So beginnt für Roverandom ein unglaubliches Abenteuer. Die Suche nach dem Zauberer, der ihm seine alte Hundegestalt wiedergeben soll, führt Roverandom auf den Mond und tief hinunter ins Meer. Er trifft den Mann im Mond und tobt mit dessen geflügeltem Hund um den Mondturm, lauert den Mondstrahlen auf und weckt den fürchterlichen, grünes Feuer speienden Weißen Drachen. Zurück auf der Erde bringt ihn der weise Wal zum Schloß des Meerkönigs tief auf dem Boden des Ozeans. Die Geschichte vom kleinen Hund Roverandom gehört zum schönsten, was Tolkien je geschrieben hat. Er selbst sah sie als Folgeband zum »Hobbit«. Ein Anhang gibt Auskunft über die Entstehung der Geschichte und der Bilder, die Tolkien zur Illustrierung gemalt hat.
Kurzmeinung
Ich mag den Stil der Erzählung. Sätze wie "Dieser hier war ein Zauberer, der, der jetzt in die Geschichte hineinspazierte." finde ich ganz wunderbar.
insbesondere die Unterwasserszenen haben mir gut gefallen.
Schön, was Roverandom für Abenteuer erlebt. Wenn ich Kinder hätte, könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, ihnen hieraus vorzulesen.

[b:Roverandom|23617|Roverandom|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1374681558s/23617.jpg|2964446] is a story that [a:J.R.R. Tolkien|656983|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1383526938p2/656983.jpg] told his three young sons during a holiday at the seaside in the 1920s. The story was inspired by the loss of a beloved toy dog. As the editors (and Tolkien scholarship super-gurus) [a:Christina Scull|9497|Christina Scull|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-e0ba3b90c110cd67123d6a850d85373e.png] and [a:Wayne G. Hammond|9498|Wayne G. Hammond|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-e89fc14c32a41c0eb4298dfafe929b65.png] point out, the story develops and matures as it goes along. The first chapter (or episode) feels very much like a transcript of a story a father tells his children, but by the end of the book Tolkien has, to some extent, brought even Rover into his mythology--even with a brief mention of the Undying Lands of the West.
However, throughout the book Tolkien maintains a lightness of tone and an authorial presence that is much closer to [b:The Hobbit|5907|The Hobbit|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1372847500s/5907.jpg|1540236] than to some of his other works. And I found that Roverandom actually reminded me more of [a:Lewis Carroll|8164|Lewis Carroll|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1192735053p2/8164.jpg]'s [b:Alice|176972|The Annotated Alice The Definitive Edition|Lewis Carroll|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1367782378s/176972.jpg|15777985] stories than anything by Tolkien. There is a lot of wordplay and lighthearted, episodic structure that is different than anything else I've read by Tolkien. I read this to my three sons, and it was great fun, especially with the occasional ridiculously long lists of words that Tolkien includes.
The editors' introduction is essential to understanding the context of Roverandom, and even though it gives away a lot of what happens in the story, I think it's worth reading before looking at the rest of the book for the first time. Also, Scull and Hammond have included a number of helpful notes at the back of the book, explaining some further context and literary references. These notes are not referenced within the text itself, and I wish they would have been. But it is easy enough to check the back of the book occasionally for additional annotation.
