If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Stanley Goldyn
So many wonderful and interesting options. However, restricted to only one selection, I would choose Dumas' 17th Century France, 1625, to meet the French king's guard, the musketeers.
There, I would do what young men do. I would love, duel, gamble, travel and enjoy the pleasures, camaraderie and life of a forgotten romantic time.
I would journey east to the German states and the Kingdom of Bohemia, to share in and experience the rigours of the Thirty Years' War.
And in old age, I would reside on acreage as a country squire, and grow old with a beautiful wife, our children, a vineyard and apple orchard. Interspersed amidst wine and mead, writing would occupy my time, together with reunions with reminiscing old friends, as we remember our halcyon days of youth, optimism and young vitality.
No emails, computers or telephones - one would mount a horse to get a message through.
Oh......and watch the golden, scarlet slashes of sunset as the evenings slip into twilight, the most seductive time of day.
