The Royal Shakespeare Company: Greater Shakespeare tube map, created by Kit Grover and Hester Lees-Jeffries, plots Shakespeare’s characters by their archetypal traits: lovers, warriors, fools, etc.

Bespoke YOU ARE HERE prints by Matt Glen on Etsy. Pick a place and get a custom screen printed map, based on the location of your choice. 

A map at the front of a fantasy book worked as a kind of blurb, a promise of the adventures to come - you just knew that the mountain-ringed forbidden city or the skull-shaped island fortress jutting from a wreck-garnished sea was going to crop up somewhere. It would be a hell of a tease if they didn’t. Moreover, the map is part of the escapist promise of fantasy: that you are entering a fully realised world, one that extends beyond the bounds of the story, and that even if the stinging deserts and haunted swamps are barely alluded to, they they can exist more fully in your own imaginative rendering of the world.
