“There's no escaping the fact that maps today are used primarily as a means for locating ourselves and our destinations. But those are the kinds of maps that we also discard upon arrival. These maps are different, I hope. These are maps for people who seek to travel beyond the lives and places that they already know (or think they know). The goal here isn't to become found, but only to become more lost.”

Author/illustrator Andrew DeGraff has created maps for nineteen books and short stories including The Odyssey, Hamlet, Pride and Prejudice, Invisible Man, A Wrinkle in Time, Watership Down, A Christmas Carol, and more. Some were delightful, surprising, and wonderful; some were less so.
