ix, [3], 13-238 pp. Color frontispiece, two-tone illustrations and endpapers. "The Magic Map represents [Bonner's] ideal book for children - interesting, jolly, gently wise and entertainingly informative. In writing The Magic Map, Miss Bonner answered a need of her own childhood - to have geography as fascinating and delightful and as adventurous as travel and actual exploration. The Magic Map is a world alive. It lives with children in all its wonderful shapes and seasons and discloses its jolliest and finest facts as well as Nature's wonders. Luxor Price, a genius of map drawing and drollery, read the manuscript and fell in love with the job. His illustrations are splendid examples of map making and yet are full of whimsical fun and fact - the jolliest kind of a combination." Illustrated with fifteen color and twenty black and white drawings.
