Fortunately, our tour guide found ‘The Literature Map‘ just in time! Tourists will find this map a particularly useful tool to discover new authors who write like their old favourites.
Those of us suffering withdrawal from the Harry Potter series, for example, will find this map particularly useful because it shows the other authors we are likely to enjoy. In this case, Philip Pullman.
I suggest you all take the time to check it out while our tour prepares for its next destination…
One of the best things about an online tour is that we can take short detours without moving or paying extra for petrol or accommodation.
Andy, a recent guest on our tour, is responsible for our next stop. As a reader of all types of Literature and a gifted writer, Andy declared ‘21 steps’ “Not bad”, high praise indeed from any teenager. The writer, Charles Cumming, uses Google maps to tell a story that travels across the world. Chapter 1 begins at the link below:
The next stop on our Literature Discovery Tour is a visit to an ancient village in the shadow of a mountain. Watch the twists and turns along the way and remember that it’s never too late to revisit the world’s classic places…This stop really is what you make of it!

Phew! It certainly took a while to get started on our tour but our first few locations are certainly worth the effort. Each is full of action, mystery and intrigue. Our tour group will be meeting Alice, a very tech-savvy girl who travels the world with her parents. Alice will be leading our group through one of the hottest destinations in the world –the intense and often eerie landscape of the digital world.
While visiting Alice keep an eye and ear out for these ‘Items of Interest’ along the way:
The wildflowers of China
The music, which is provided for your reading pleasure.
The mysterious Brad.
The use of images, light, colour, sound and music to tell each story. Note how these things change to enhance each leg of our journey.
Remember to stay alert. There are parts of this tour that may require you to immediate action. In Russia you must make a very important choice: whether to play the game or not. Choose wisely.
Take the Literature Discovery Tour with us as we visit some of the most amazing locations in the world! Explore the dizzy heights of online fiction and the stunning landscape of digital storytelling as we travel through the world of online and offline literature!
