Roverandom by Wayne G. Hammond, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christina Scull

3.0

This is a fun children’s books which shares the bare bones of The Hobbit but deviates quite wildly. It’s gratifying to see how much Tolkien enjoyed a relationship with his children with these books aimed at younger listeners. Roverandom was a toy dog which was lost by one of Tolkien’s sons and this is the story of the adventures that that dog had. It’s quite reminiscent of Roald Dahls love for parents who create stories to share with their children on display in the likes of Danny Champion of the World. It’s jolly.
