“Valour needs first strength, then a weapon.”
Inspired by the loss of his own child's favorite toy, a little leaden dog, Roverandom is the tale of a dog, Rover, that is turned into a toy, by an irritable wizard. This is a charming novella, that I recommend for people starting to read Tolkien. It is very easy to follow and very easy understand. The story is well-developed and the characters are charming and interesting.
It's one of the best novellas that I have read. Truly recommend it.
