Do I love maps because of the fantasy books I read as a kid? Did I love (and still love) the fantasy books because I love maps? I may never know.

I've heard of the Atlas of Middle Earth but never knew this amazing story behind it. Thanks for posting it, bookofjoe!

Also, really cool to know she did D&D maps too. Maps are just rad

I love that she could build so much of the world from the geographic descriptions, of things like mountains and rivers.
