Goodreads asked Martha Engber:

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

Martha Engber I grew up in Chicago and often went to the Art Institute of Chicago. The museum had the Thorne Miniature Rooms (https://www.artic.edu/departments/PC-...), a collection of 68 small rooms, each of which depicted a scene from a bygone era between the 1300s and the 1930s. Mrs. James Warn Thorne commissioned different craftsmen to do a room, which are unbelievably detailed. As I kid, I wished I could shrink down to the size where I could walk around the room and live in that place on that day back in that time. I wanted to be the peasant, or the wealthy heiress or the weaver. Wanting to experience so many different lives is the reason I became a writer!
