A Trip to Childhood with the Hundred Acre Wood Map

[@kamikunder]

this was my first map in my winnie the pooh book, reading it as a child with my mom 😊 It seemed big and complex back then. I remembered it as I first picked up a lord of the rings book and saw the map there. Now I could truly investigate something complex 😅

Great concept to combine your passion of cartography with pop culture. Thank you!

Wow! When I did my military service (in peacetime, in Sweden, but in a special operations force with a lot of really hard work for 1.5 years), I often longed home to my parents, and specifically so sit and watch the "Search for Christopher Robin" movie with my little sister. I had no idea about this, but I can really understand how WWI experiences could induce fantasies about an idyllic fairytale world like the 100 acre wood.

I grew up with Disney's Winnie the Pooh and some books that derived from that version, not the original books. I remember one of the books had a Disney-fied version of the map they show here (roughly the same map in the Disney art-style) and I always thought it was really cool and wished it was real and I could explore it (I mean I guess technically it's real, but the real woods looks rather different than an animated cartoon).

Youve just inspired me to try and draw the map of my home woods. I grew up at the firests edge out in the sticks on Falster in Denmark. It occurs to me now that a map drawn from memory of that area would be a fun place to to spend one of the novels im working on.

milne & Shepard are so much better than so-called Disney - which are sometimes ugly, not cute at all, & in bad taste.
