I’ll add this to my ‘books to buy’ list and look forward, with anticipation, to your forthcoming book. Let us know when it’s published!

Dear Nancy Gazo:

Thanks for your response. You might enjoy looking at my book—if you can find a copy—of Who Stole the Wizard of Oz. Something I wrote years ago. The point is, it is a mystery, and the essential clues are to be found in the maps, maps from well-known children’s books. The book was never produced well. I suspect the book designer never read the book, so never understood how crucial the maps were.

A forth coming book, Sophia’s War, will have 2 maps, but they are real places.

I just wanted to thank you for this post. I did a google search on “Wind in the Willow” blogs and yours came up, but it addresses one of the topics I will be exploring in my Children’s Literature blog (my final assignment for my summer university course). My topic (I think) is going to be Mapping the Geography of Children’s Books through Imagination or something like that–I’m still fleshing it out! I, too, have always studied maps: The Hobbit, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Wind in the Willows will be some of the books I am covering.
