Full description

This map shows the route of the family from Wakefield’s book as they travel through Europe. Readers can follow the journey on the map as they read, a practice typically recommended in the prefaces of fictionalized geography books for children. Although Wakefield included maps in her books, other geographers did not, with the expectation that readers could find a globe or map in their home.
