Description

For that, you can always browse our map of the Unreal City, which contains hundreds of fictional places in the capital. The book includes 5,000 locations - everywhere from Bedrock to Erinsborough, Vice City to Wakanda - drawn from varied works of fiction, but plotted alongside one another like some madcap alternative reality.

The book comes with a full guide to the many sources, with notes on how the locations were sleuthed.Matt Brown is author of 11 books for Batsford, using his trademark humour and playfulness as tools to explore the world.

With a deep love of trivia, he's written and hosted hundreds of quizzes, including events for the Museum of London and Manchester Science Museum, among many others. The one that showed about 1,000 fictional British places from film, TV, novels, comics and video games? These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. From Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot to superhero Wakanda, from Lilliput of Gulliver’s Travels to Springfield in The Simpsons, a wondrous atlas of imagined places around the world. Accompanying the maps are illuminating essays that explain how the authors came to their decisions, along with explorations of the key locations and fun timelines of imaginary events.From the top left: Africa, south east Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, North America, the Nordic Countries, and the Middle East. Phileas Fogg could pop across the road into Grace Brothers, and dalmatians Pongo and Perdita could easily be spooked by the Invisible Man. I also discovered a bounty of toys for any little girl or boy who wishes for a Christmas gift when I found the Isle of Mifsfit Toys.

Locations from film, TV, books, computer games and comics are ingeniously plotted on a series of beautiful vintage-looking maps. Fascinating and beautiful, this is an essential book for any popular culture fan and map enthusiast. I was impressed that the authors found Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry — it’s reputed to be “unplottable” — along with the nearby town of Hogsmead, frequented by Harry Potter and his friends, tucked away in eastern Scotland’s Cairngorms Mountains.Combining pop culture with map enthusiasm, 'The Atlas of Imagined Places: from Liliput to Gotham City' is published by Pavilion Books and written by Matt Brown and Rhys B.
