Where exactly though? What if you get dropped in the Shades before the Watch has become effective?
Yes! And listen to Rush play the piano, and hang out in the Office.
I would want to be one of the Five Children (Jane?) and find the Psammead. I could be as beautiful as the day!
Definitely the Oz of Wicked
It would of course be A.M, but definitely not the Shades or the Street of Cunning Articifers.
Since The Hobbit was originally considered a children’s book, I think I’ll take my vacation in Middle Earth, thanks.
Easy. Dinotopia, hands down.
Prydain, from The Prydain Chronicles. I always wondered what the food from that magic bottomless food pouch tasted like. I imagined dry cat food, but I have to know, dammit!
Sure. I’m just trying to save you guys from yourselves.
And help build the swimming pool, and help with one of their shows, and discover–but that would be telling. (But I wonder if I would think to count the windows like Randy did!)
Oh, but on the way to the Four-Story Mistake, I’d love to fly over Andrew Henry’s meadow.
And maybe borrow Harold’s Purple Crayon.
And speaking as Andy L’s wife in real life, he would also like to visit Mammoth Falls as one of the Mad Scientists’ Club, and explore the Three Investigators’ hideout.
If its a more realistic location we are looking for, can I be one of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five? I could go camping on islands during my “hols” and be forever planning teas with ginger-beer and orange aide and hams and stuff. No parents ever seem to cramp my style, and there’s Timmy the Dog for company!
Does The Blue Lagoon count as a kids’ story? Ducks and runs.
Actually, Wallace and Grommit was the first thing I thought of, but when I thought it through, I thought a week might be too long.
I would like to spend a week at Hogwarts as a Guest Lecturer in Muggle Studies the year after they finally finished off Voldemort and finished reconstructing the place.
Redwall (assuming I could be properly critterized). Would time it for a big feast, of course!
If that’s possible, then the Swallows and Amazons universe for me. Lake District, Norfolk Broads, sailing to Holland or China or a treasure island would be great.
Alice’s wonderland, please, with a detour through the looking glass world while I am at it.
Hogwart’s.
And if that’s not available, I’d like to visit The Chalk and meet Tiffany Aching.
Wizard fun! And we can camp in a kindly farmer’s field and his fat, jolly rosy cheeked wife will bake us bread, and we can play with the puppies in the barn!! (and none of that was a euphamism!)
If not Famous Five, then I’d go to the world of Jill and her ponies, you’re mother gives you money, you buy a pony, it turns out you have a field for hay and a stable behind your house, you go off on mad adventures with your pony friends sigh
I want to be left in charge of the factory while Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka go on their glass elevator adventures.
I would have snagged your season five discs just for that trip, and the adventure. I like this bonus part a lot. Thanks!
"Sing hi-diddl-diddle
For a silly little vittle
“Sing get-gat-gittle
Got a hole in the middle
Sing dough-de-dough-dough
There’s dough you know.
There’s no nuts
in you know whats.
In a whole doughnut
There’s a nice whole hole.
When you take a big bite,
Hold the whole hole tight.
If a little bit bitten,
Or a great bit bitten
Any hole with a hole bitten in it,
Is a holey whole hole
And it JUST - PLAIN - ISN’T!”
That really does stick in your head.
This is way harder than I thought it would be.
Do I become a kid again myself? If so, then put me down in Moomin Valley, in the spring, when Nuuskamuikkunen comes back from his travels, the Moomins wake from hibernation, and the adventures begin. Maybe the summer of the magician’s hat…I’d like to ride on clouds, too.
But if I stay an adult, I’d rather go to Rivendell, around the time of Bilbo’s first visit, when there weren’t any really super big wars going on. I’d peacefully study the languages, poetry, and music of the elves. And, oh, movement.
