The scene where Don Quixote, a ‘book madman’, falls into a knight saga and loses his sense of reality. It is humorous yet fantastically portrayed.

Don Quixote in his study, from an article about the artist, Gustave Doré, in Vol 3 of Cassels Magazine of Art (1883).
It’s become a classic fantasy trope, mythical creatures appearing when someone reads a book, but here is is in the 19th century.
