Goodreads asked P.K. Davies:

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

P.K. Davies I would choose two adventures, both coincidentally of the same period. I would want to share my youth with Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain's classic evokes the freedom of youth in a world of mystery and adventure in a social environment that has now disappeared in a world of doubt and fear. Then I might have graduated to an adult adventure; sharing Joshua Slocum's round the world voyage in Spray in 1898. No one now knows what he knew about tides and weather patterns; he could detect a storm one thousand miles away by the feel of the ocean. He was the last link to those days of sail boats; hundreds of years of knowledge now replaced by electronic gadgets and super tech materials. I would also have loved to have seen his face when the President of South Africa told him the world was flat after he had sailed around most of it.
