In a book written by Phoebe Marie Holmes in 1932, she mentioned another book entitled "The Wayfarer" which was written by a male author and published in England (according to Phoebe). But she never mentioned the author's name.
I haven't been able to find it in a Google search.

Does anyone know who the author of this book is?

Thanks!

There is a famous Anglo-Saxon poem of that name (also known as "The Wanderer.") Its original (or earliest known copy, at least) is in a 10th century manuscript book in the library of Exeter Cathedral.

BTW, this piece of work is about a guy who says he has achieved physical immortality... and can also leave and enter his body at will. Very interesting! Would be a really good read.
