"Henry Brocken" by Walter De la Mare is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the journey and adventures of the protagonist, Henry Brocken, as he explores fantastical realms influenced by literature and dreams. It engages with themes of imagination and the allure of the unattainable while delving into the nature of reality versus fiction. At the start of the novel, the narrator, Henry Brocken, reflects on his solitary childhood spent in the company of books, particularly enchanted tales of distant lands and characters. After the death of his parents, he is raised by his elderly aunt, Sophia, in a house by a wood, leading him to nostalgia and a yearning for exploration. One blue March morning, he sets off on a journey that begins with the mundane but soon transcends into a fantastical realm where he meets a mysterious girl named Lucy Gray and encounters an array of vivid and extraordinary experiences, ultimately blurring the lines between reality and dreams.
