Well, young sir, the review below is what I truly thought…

The Writer’s Map by Huw Lewis-Jones
Hi everyone, this week’s post is an enchanting non-fiction book I found quite by chance fairly recently. When you see the word “Map” I know you’ll probably think, ‘Oh no, it’s some weird atlas’ but rest assured this is not any ordinary atlas. This, my friends, is a book created by writers and illustrators of the world’s they create in their books. So, I hope to see you below to read my review…
