Continents and oceans, mountains and watercourses, have no fixed locations as in the real world. Thus it would be quite impossible to draw a map of Fantastica. In Fantastica you can never be sure in advance what will be next to what. Even the directions—north, south, east, and west—change from one part of the country to another. And the same goes for summer and winter, day and night. You can step out of a blazing hot desert straight into snowfields. In Fantastica there are no measurable distances, so that "near" and "far" don't at all mean what they do in the real world. They vary with the traveler's wishes and state of mind. Since Fantastica has no boundaries, its center can be anywhere—or to put it another way, it is equally near to, or far from, anywhere. It all depends on who is trying to reach the center. And the innermost center of Fantastica is the Ivory Tower.

Lost the book while on vacation. I was close to finishing it, so I think I'll consider this one finished. Even made a list on Letterboxd of 32 films mentioned in the book: boxd.it/wv8SQ

So far, no major differences from the 1984 movie. Once I finish the book, I'll probably look into the reasons that the author sued the filmmakers....

The film will be in theaters for just two days next week. It was a childhood favorite. Had never read the book, so I'm listening to the 2012 audiobook now.
