Solomon's Stone
Solomon's Stone is a fantasy novel by American writer L. Sprague de Camp. It was first published in the magazine "Unknown Worlds" in June 1942. It was reprinted in the Summer 1949 issue of the British edition of "Unknown", and then published in book form by Avalon Books in 1957.

After an unintentionally successful demon-summoning, accountant Prosper Nash finds himself on the astral plane, inhabiting the body of Jean-Prospere, Chevalier de Néche—the swashbuckling cavalier he likes to imagine himself as—and in a New York filled with characters from similar wish-fulfillment daydreams of other mundane souls. The demon is possessing his body on a mundane plane, and he attempts to find his way back. This involves the Shamir, the Solomon's Stone of the title, and plentiful swashbuckling adventure, and a plot in which Prosper Nash's accounting abilities prove as useful as Chevalier de Néche's athletic ones.
