I love maps! I miss the days when it was almost a standard feature in mystery novels. Maybe I will find one in an old Agatha Christie this year. It'll be like a little treasure hunt. What gems have you found?

So many travel narratives have a map, which is helpful, and the old mysteries. A good historical account may have one also.

Mary Arkless | 153 comments I just read "Troy" by Stephen Fry. It has a map at the beginning, although it is all so very tiny. Strange in a hardback book with huge typeface in the main part of the book!

One of my First Reads books in January was Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket, and Sadie includes a map of her trip to Mars, so I counted it for this prompt.

I'd forgotten that there were maps in that book.

Cheryl (6of8) | 247 comments I recently read City of the Soul: A Walk in Rome which also had a map -- although it was missing a lot of the sites that the book talked about, which was disappointing.

That is disappointing!
