== Places == * The Moon - Rover goes to the [[Moon]] seeking the Man in the Moon's help. The Moon is highly fantasized; envisioned by Tolkien as a place full of mythical creatures reminiscent of those found in the works of [[Lewis Carroll]]. Traits of the Moon's trees foreshadow those of the [[mallorn]] trees of [[Lothlórien]].<ref>[[Christina Scull]] & [[Wayne G. Hammond]] (1998, editors), ''Roverandom'', 2013 pocket edition, HarperCollins, Notes p. 177; {{ISBN|978-0-00-752328-3}}</ref> * The Cove - Where Psamathos lives and Roverandom is accidentally left by Boy Two. It is located on the north-east coast of England. Its description as a "queer cove", an allusion to the English expression meaning 'odd fellow, rogue', is one of many plays-on-words in the book. * The Isle of Dogs - An island Mew and Rover fly over on the way to the moon. Mew describes it as a place lucky or deserving lost dogs go. A place where they can make as much noise as they want, with bone trees growing everywhere. It is a fanciful allusion to the [[Isle of Dogs]] and the [[Dogger Bank]]. * Under the [[Sea]] - The mer-king's realm * Faery: the tale's brief glimpse of the [[Minor places in Arda#Shadowy Seas|Shadowy Seas]] and [[Elvenhome]] links it to Tolkien's [[Middle-earth]] [[legendarium]].
