Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. Ronald Lampitt (illustrator). New Edition. A "completely revised and redrawn new edition". John and Joanna have new clothes (jeans!) and hairstyles and they have a new dog (still called Rover). Villages, countryside, vehicles and actual maps are all updated. The book follows the story as John and Joanna use an Ordnance Survey map to walk into town to visit a fair. As they pass over fields, past houses and along footpaths, their surroundings are compared with map adjacent on the same page. The fields turn into contoured blank spaces, houses become black cubes, footpaths dashed lines. Map literacy is acquired by the reader as they accompany the children on their virtual journey, matching map with reality. Two pages have mended tears and there is a child's name on front free endpaper but otherwise in very good bright condition. The dust jacket is bright, not price-clipped (17s. 6d net) but chipped and torn at edges with loss to spine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008197
