I am glad you gained so much from the map, Mike. It certainly sounds as if the Puffin & BCA maps are the same.
Whilst, like you, I was initially enthralled by the maps. But after reading the book I was disappointed with the map as the galleons and other features never appeared in the text. The badge in the bottom right hand corner always felt out of place.
However I drew on and added to the maps, a process continued by my children so that the unexplored forests are now inhabited by menacing muppet stickers.
In fact the endpapers are now so altered that I felt duty bound to buy my grandson a new Cape hardback. But while the Spurrier map is still there the colouring is rather anaemic.
