maps and storytelling

5/1/2018

 
Picture
Joyce Lankester Brisley, 1928, Milly Molly Mandy
One of my earliest memories of solo reading was this map at the back of a Milly Molly Mandy book. Not essential to the stories, but for me, an essential place maker. It was really important to know precisely where to imagine all her adventures in context. Where did Billy Blunt live? how far from Susan's house? How did they get to the village fete? I suspect that some of this compulsion has informed my project. I've mapped the places I've been and marked exactly where each image has  been drawn, so I know where they all fit in relation to each other. Lots of mini-stories waiting to interact with each other.
