Aug. 21st, 2008 11:27 amDo any of you remember reading Ruth Chew books?
She had a whole series that usually involved 2 children having magical adventures. These children, sometimes brother and sister, sometimes cousins, sometimes friends, almost always lived in a "Brownstone" in Brooklyn, as I recall, and there was much metiononing of locations like Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Zoo and the Brooklyn Zoological Gardens (assuming I am remembering the names correctly).
Why am I bringing these up, you may well wonder. Well, part of my job involves putting together layout packages that include maps, and one of the places in which I do this is Brooklyn.
Every time I am working on Brooklyn maps I think of these books that I loved, and smile at the fact that Brooklyn, in my mind, always equals magic.
