This is an atlas of the journeys that writers make, encompassing not only the maps that actually appear in their books, but also the many maps that have inspired them and the sketches that they use in writing. For some, making a map is absolutely central to the craft of shaping and telling their tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA writer's map might also mean the geographies they describe, the worlds inside books that rise from the page, mapped or unmapped, and the realms that authors inhabit as they write. Philip Pullman recounts a map he drew for an early novel; Robert Macfarlane reflects on his cartophilia, set off by Robert Louis Stevenson and his map of \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/i\u003e; Joanne Harris tells of her fascination with Norse maps of the universe; Reif Larsen writes about our dependence on GPS and the impulse to map our experience; Daniel Reeve describes drawing maps and charts for \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbit\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy of films; Miraphora Mina recalls creating 'The Marauder's Map' for the \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e films; David Mitchell leads us to the Mappa Mundi by way of \u003ci\u003eCloud Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e and his own sketch maps. And there's much more besides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmidst a cornucopia of images, there are maps of the world as envisaged in medieval times, as well as maps of adventure, sci-fi and fantasy, and maps from nursery stories, literary classics, and collectible comics—a vast range of genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600734798060,"sku":"9780500519509","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780500519509-the-writer-s-map.jpg?v=1777991538","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-writers-map-9780500519509","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
