Mr Fat...Thank you for your lovely words, Chopper! <br /><br />Mr Fatuous - oh my god, I had those books! I'd completely forgotten about them until now. I remember them being slightly over complicated but ultimately brilliant fun, getting even more involved with the world of the Famous Five which I was already obsessed with. Thanks so much for reminding me.<br /><br />The Equalizer - The Hobbit wasn't included because I've never read it! These were just off the top of my head the maps that had a big impression on me. I've had lots of good suggestions of other maps in books I might like, so I shall be making an effort to read them all!alicestronauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347279319374826134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366928614508904545.post-9915893542046314232011-11-25T18:42:16.290+00:002011-11-25T18:42:16.290+00:00Mr. F - Wow, I've never seen those before. Ver...Mr. F - Wow, I've never seen those before. Very cool.<br /><br />Mr Eq - It's Alice's Top 5 but I think it had to be either one or the other as far as LOTR & The Hobbit goes. Both very valid contenders. I love JRR's map work (there's one in the Silmarillion too) really helped feed my imagination.Chopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288482906642697324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366928614508904545.post-7162140080948955342011-11-25T09:56:07.960+00:002011-11-25T09:56:07.960+00:00I'm surprised to see that The Hobbit wasn'...I'm surprised to see that The Hobbit wasn't included. This also has a map hand drawn by Tolkien, and is definitely classed as a children's book (it was written for his son).The Equalizernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366928614508904545.post-5787138623312872192011-11-25T09:06:35.974+00:002011-11-25T09:06:35.974+00:00I've got a Famous Five game book which was a b...I've got a Famous Five game book which was a bit like a glorified choose your own adventure.
