The majority of stories in novels could only have taken place in a specific location. In every great work, the setting and the landscape are as closely linked to the plot as any of its characters. Literary landscapes brings together twenty classic, universal novels from children’s fiction and takes the reader on a journey of discovery into the places their authors, once upon a time, lived or dreamed of. Both a beautiful homage to literature and an invitation to read classic literature. What is more, the landscapes starring in the novels featured in this compendium all share a deep connection: the desire for freedom and the power of the written word that drives us to find our own path.
