Myles McLeod — Feathers Will Fly

Dream questionnaire

1- The character who touched you the most?

Esther Summerson in The Bitter House by Charles Dicken. She is so generous and humble. It is impossible not to be impressed by his goodness.

2- The character that scared you the most?

I think there is a special place in every English child's heart for the child chaser from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang directed by Ken Hughes. He was so scary with his weird face, his net to catch children and his horrible song. He is like The Pied Piper of Hamelin who also fascinated and terrified me.

3- The character you would most like to meet?

A dragon or an alien, nice of course because I don't want to be eaten.

4- The character you would like to reincarnate as (^_^)?

I do not wish to be reincarnated. If I really had to, it would be someone like Dr. Watson. Chasing Sherlock Holmes would amuse me.

5- The world you would like to live in?

Into the strange and beautiful world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Books. Or somewhere in a Hayao Miyazaki film.

6- The world you wouldn't want to live in?

1984 by George Orwell.

7- What role would you like to play in a work of fiction?

Probably a Jedi Knight. It's not very original, but the seven-year-old in me hasn't forgotten.

8- Your earliest memory of fiction?

Star Wars, Narnia, Middle Earth. They were all there.

9- Your favorite word?

In English “Love”. Love.

10- Music you would like to listen to now?

“Something” by Wilson Pickett. Original English version:
