À propos de cet audio

Tolkien’s acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tale, read by Derek Jacobi.

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 performed by Sir Derek Jacobi.

Ce que les critiques en disent

‘This is an old-fashioned story, yet it still speaks freshly today… would leap to life when read aloud to a child’ Independent

‘Lord of the Rings buffs will enjoy picking out bits of Nordic mythology and will relish Tolkien’s fabulous sense of landscape’ The Times

A thoroughly enjoyable children’s adventure story of a cute little puppy and his little escapades in a magical world. Would be wonderful for a car ride listen or before bed. Could easily be broken up into 3 parts (beginning adventures, moon adventures, and under the sea adventures).
The narrator performed brilliantly and gave great life to each of the characters!

A great children’s story!

You can tell that Tolkien got bored with this story about three-quarters of the way through, because he rushed the ending. Maybe he had some intentions to expand the story beyond the first book though that never happened. Still enjoyable.

Cute
