Project Gutenberg 2004-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 170 Blackwood, Algernon 1869 1951 A Prisoner in Fairyland (The Book That 'Uncle Paul' Wrote) Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Prisoner in Fairyland" by Algernon Blackwood is a novel written in the early 20th century, around 1913. The story intricately weaves the life of its protagonist, Henry Rogers, as he transitions from the world of rigid business responsibilities into one filled with the whimsical and nostalgic splendor of childhood imagination. The journey promises a blend of fantasy and self-discovery, hinting at Rogers’ longing for a more meaningful, magical existence that rekindles the innocence and joy of his youth. The opening of the novel introduces us to Herbert Montmorency Minks, the dedicated and somewhat melancholic secretary to the ambitious business tycoon Henry Rogers. Minks harbors a deep admiration for Rogers and is on the verge of a career breakthrough. The narrative sets the stage for a profound exploration of themes such as ambition and unfulfilled dreams, as Minks reflects on his own artistic aspirations and the bond he shares with his employer. As Minks revels in his newfound position, we see hints of a larger journey for both him and Rogers, one steeped in nostalgia, creativity, and the exploration of what it means to reconnect with one’s inner child and imagination. The narrative artfully contrasts the mundane aspects of their lives with the enchanting allure of dreams and poetry, suggesting that there are greater adventures awaiting both men just beyond the confines of their contemporary existence.
