Michael Beard answered Goodreads's question: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? I would love to travel a few fictional worlds. Of course, I'd love to visit Ada Ev and meet all those characters! If I have to choose worlds not of my own making, I would divide my time between Middle Earth and Narnia.
