Goodreads asked Bethany Thompson:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Bethany Thompson Oh, there are so many intriguing choices! But ever since I was little, when I read Patricia St. John's Treasures of the Snow and Johanna Spyri's Heidi, with their descriptions of breathtaking sunsets over the Alps, myriads of wildflowers on the slopes, and the tinkle of cow bells, I have longed to visit Switzerland. To experience for myself the sound of the wind in the firs, to pick armloads of wildflowers, to gaze down the mountain at the picturesque villages, to see the fiery colors of the setting sun, and to taste fresh goat cheese. What joy we can find in the simple goodness of life!
