By Rob Ferrett Verified, Beatrice Lawrence Verified| Wisconsin Today Verified If you've ever wanted to explore the world of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings," the best place to start might be Oshkosh. That's where a Wisconsin cartographer created dozens of maps that went into " The Atlas of Middle-earth," the official geographic guide to the world of author J.R.R. Tolkien. Her work went on to influence "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy. Like many readers, Karen Wynn Fonstad fell in love with the fantasy series and went through multiple readings.
By Rob Ferrett Verified| Wisconsin Today Verified When I was a kid, I decorated my room with maps. Not band posters, not movie posters. Nothing fancy. My grandparents had a National Geographic subscription, so I had a steady supply. World maps, maps of continents, one map of the ocean floor and another of the moon. And I was always a sucker for fantasy and science fiction books that opened up with a cool map of fantastic locations. Did I say "was"? OK, yeah, you can still lure me into a book with a good map. And games, too.
