F is for Fairy Land Maps

April 6, 2018 By Claire Annette Noland 8 Comments

Wouldn’t you love to go to Fairy Tale Land? We can at least get a glimpse of this magical place through maps.

 

The Magic Map Book  

This rare 1908 British book tells the adventures of two children and includes a map so that readers can follow them on their journey.

 

 

There are more detailed maps on each spread.

 

 

 

Another wonderful map of Fairy Land is found in

Walt Kelly’s Fairy Tales

This book is a hard backed collection of fairy tale comics originally published in comic book form series Fairy Tale Parade and Famous Fairy Tales in the late 1940’s. Walt Kelly was an animator for Disney who went on to become one of the world’s best known cartoonists as the creator of Pogo.

 

 

Now there’s no excuse to get lost if we ever find ourselves in Fairy Tale Land.

    Ooh, I know a few more Fairy Land maps!
    Cicely Mary Baker drew a few, and there’s a darling one in the picture book “Little Red Gliding Hood” by Tara Lazar.
    I think there’s one in Artemis Fowl, too, but don’t quote me on that.
    Loving your theme!

    Fairy books and their maps are the coolest when we are little and even older.

    This is an amazing introduction to this wonderful book of maps. I have found your blog because you left a comment along the way on another blog. I love this about the #Challenge. The education provided in the hands of someone like yourself who is presenting this interesting, great information. Thank you. If you have time and interest, my theme this year is BOOKSTORES, their architecture, locations and great people who sell books – one of my many passions. This book that you have shared is a great gift
