Marvellous Maps – författare

For nearly ten years the map elves at Strumpshaw, Tincleton and Giggleswick have been creating specialised maps of the UK. From ‘Twatt of northern Scotland to the Bottoms of England, via the fabled Pants of Wales’, the cartographical wonders have been gobbled up by map junkies all over the country. Now, for the first time, the Marvellous Maps team are picking up their compasses, dusting off their set squares and putting together 300 of the most fiendish puzzles based on their bestselling maps.We travel to Hairy Craig and answer questions on the country’s funniest place names; we explore the most adventurous places in the UK – including the ‘race the train’ event off the coast of Wales; and find out what links a statue of Jimi Hendrix, ‘Ticket to Ride’ by the Beatles and ‘Big Fat Rat’ by Chas n Dave. With sections covering Britain’s lesser-known folklore locations, incredible film and TV locations, literary hotspots, legendary music locations, historical hideaways, and food and drink places of note – the Marvellous Maps Puzzle Book will be a book for all the family, no matter what the interest or where the interest.
