A Map of Peterswood

Post by Fiona1986 »

From Aureliéns suggestion, here is a thread for posting locations of places in Peterswood.

If anyone has anything to add the sort of thing we are looking for:

Mr Smith's House is on Gray Street
Jane's house is next door to Mrs Greens house (Left or Right if known)
Blossom Drive is on the corner with Blacks Lane

If possible it would be useful to have which book and chapter this appears in (page numbers will vary between editions).

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Well done, our Fiona. Okay, I'll volunteer to trawl through 'Invisible Thief' - one of my 3 hardback FFOs - over the next few days and post whatever geographical/directional details are contained therein on this thread.

Don't we all! Despite the reappearance of Ern and :shock: the apparent demotion of a certain senior police officer...a sadly disappointing book.

Talking of our Moonraker, he has just posted the comment (on the FFO Quiz thread) that there's a link to someone's Peterswood map somewhere on this site. Be interesting to see it, when we reach the stage of debating the several contradictory directions we are sure to find in the books, in preparation for sketching our own maps.... :)
