Chapter 2 Summary

Anodos begins to look around him as he continues to wake up. He soon realizes that his room has been transformed into a woodland scene. Water overflows from his wash basin making a stream across his floor where daisies from his carpeting sway in a slight breeze. The canopy of his bed is now the branches of a large tree. Anodos sees a slightly-used footpath along the stream's right bank and decides this must be the way into Fairy Land.

Chapter 2 Analysis

Fairy Land has indeed opened a path for Anodos to follow. The outer limits of this fantastic world have grown to overlap the real world in order to create a near seamless bridge. The magic kept silent in Anodos' father's desk is now released to play wherever it desires.
