A little help with an anagram from a novel?
I have just finished reading Walter Moers' 'The City of Dreaming Books,' and part of the fun of reading it was figuring out anagrams given for famous authors' names.
Rasco Elwid - Oscar Wilde
Perla la Gadeon - Edgar Allan Poe
etc
But one name stumped me: Dolreich Hirnfiedler. Within the book, he is infamous for starting every other poem with the word "O!"
Please help, it's really bugging me!

Response by poster: Thanks! I would never have got that on my own.
