One of my favourite sites for online window-shopping is The Literary Gift Company at www.theliterarygiftcompany.com. They sell all sorts of essentials, luxuries and quirky delights for the book lover. And their latest is wonderfully innovative:

This ‘fictional map of London’ is described as:

A navigable plan of London streets, parks, gardens, prisons, hospitals, courts, squares, rivers, railways, vistas and commutes; as mentioned on well over 600 novels, plays and poems. It features a huge range of genres and form, and over 400 different authors including Angela Carter, Agatha Christie, Neil Gaiman, Shirley Conran, Douglas Adams, Charles Dickens, Lee Child, Iris Murdoch, Geoff Ryman and many many more. A portable pocket-sized map for literary journeys around London, complete with a comprehensive and detailed index.

I love the idea of wandering around London and seeing not the city as it is but the city as writers have imagined it. But functionality aside, the map strikes me as thing of beauty in and of itself. At £5.99, it was easy to justify as a little January treat!
