What should I ask Katherine Rundell?

She is the author of the splendid new book on John Donne, reviewed by me here.  More generally, here is from Wikipedia:

Katherine Rundell (born 1987) is an English author and academic. She is the author of Rooftoppers, which in 2015 won both the overall Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award for Best Story, and was short-listed for the Carnegie Medal. She is a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford and has appeared as an expert guest on BBC Radio 4 programmes including Start the Week, Poetry Please, and Seriously….and Private Passions.

Rundell’s other books include The Girl Savage (2011), released in 2014 in a slightly revised form as Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms in the United States where it was the winner of the 2015 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for fiction, The Wolf Wilder (2015), and The Explorer (2017), winner of the children’s book prize at the 2017 Costa Book Awards.

And this:

…all her books, and her play, contain a joke at Belgium’s expense…

She is also an avid roofwalker, and more.  Here is Katherine eating a tarantula.

So what should I ask her?
