Journey Jottings

My earliest childhood recollection of a map would be100 Aker Wood (sic) drawn by ER Shepard for the endpapers of AA Milne’s book, Winnie the Pooh.

This pictorial map not only illustrates the spatial relationship between Pooh’s home and those of his friends, it also charmingly encapsulates a scattering of some of his more memorable moments such as where the Bee Tree is, where the Woozle wasn’t and where the heffalump trap was set.

The map simply summarizes the book on a single sheet, creating a visual keepsake of Pooh’s trails and tales that conveys the spirit of Pooh and his adventures.
