For one of my geography projects i have decided to draw a map of a fantasy location from a book.. Hogwarts and Narnia were an obvious choice but i wanted to do something challanging and unique, so thought of Wonderland. i havent read the book yet but will if people who have already read it can tell me if they think it is possible to make a map. if so what sort of things would i need to include in the map? please help me! thanks

I think a map of Wonderland could be made, just follow Alice's journey through the book, she tends to keep to a path and talks about taking turns. You'd be able to include the places where she meets different characters, like the caucus race that had no end, the tea party, the croquet game, etc.

Not recommended. Most people think that Lewis Carrol was 'on something' when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. Not the best start for a project. If it's a geography project, why not try 'Treasure Island'? I started by drawing an island and then added contour lines. You then project them and get a picture of the hills and valleys.
You can the place of the buried treasure afterwards. Best advice: choose a book you've read.

You can create a map, sure. Whether or not it's remotely accurate is another story. Wonderland is a strange place, filled with even stranger creatures: Mome Raths, slithey Toves, mimsy Borogroves, Cheshire Cats, and more than I can list. The first story is based on cards, while Through the Looking Glass is based on chess. It is rumored you can follow the book and play out a game of chess, where one side does win.

if you haven't read the book i wonder why you might choose it for your project. Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are magical places that don't really conform to all of the rules of geography. Wonderland is down a rabbit hole. It's just a burrow but it has a magical kindom in it. The two stories are themselves a kind of geography. The geography of the mind.

I think it would make a great, but very challenging project. The important thing to remember is that in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass the landscape itself may be the thing that changes, not just you.
Good luck if you do go ahead with it, I'd be interested in seeing it.

It's all about your imagination based loosely on facts. We were given a project when i was at school to draw the garden from the book 'Toms Midnight Garden' and 30 of us came up with 30 different pictures. - Don't forget the yellow brick road!

That's one of my favourite books, never tried creating a map, though it sounds like it could be fun. Good luck,

sure it's possible - all it will take is a little creativity - just keep the map simple and use a lot of fun colorful illustrations

Go and see the Queen of Hearts but don't upset her or it will be off with ur head! Avoid the mad hatter though....unless u like tea!
The white rabbit might help. One word of warning....don't eat any mushrooms!

what a marvellous idea, you would need to be creative and it would have to show above and below ground, i think, its a long time since i read it, i don't think you would be able to recreate a map without reading it, just so you have it in your own minds eye!
