Tolkien. The plot begins with Anodos discovering a fairy lady in his inherited desk, which leads him to Fairy Land. He encounters spirits of trees, a marble statue, and a knight named Sir Percivale. Anodos also faces his shadow, explores a palace, and travels through different worlds. He becomes a hero, battles giants, and confronts a cult of worshippers. Eventually, Anodos dies but is revived on Earth with the memories of his experiences. The novel was first published in 1858 and has since been reprinted and illustrated. It has received mixed reception, with C.S. Lewis praising it while others criticized its rhymes and poems.
