The Return of Don Quixote

The Return of Don Quixote by G.K. Chesterton is about a sensitive librarian who, when tasked to play the part of Don Quixote in a medieval play, suddenly finds himself unable to change back. Excerpt: "The end of the longest room at Seawood Abbey was full of light; for the walls were almost made of windows and it projected upon a terraced part of the garden above the park on an almost cloudless morning. Murrel, called Monkey for some reason that everybody had forgotten, and Olive Ashley were taking advantage of the light to occupy themselves with painting; though she was painting on a very small scale and he on a very large one."
