A new edition of this fascinating and unusual journey through the world of maps and mapmakers, drawing on 700 years worth of maps from the National Archives.A map is a snapshot of a place, a city, a nation or even the world at a given point in time fascinating for what they tell us about the way our ancestors saw themselves, their neighbours and their place in the world. This magnificent collection, drawn from seven centuries of maps held in the National Archives at Kew, looks at a variety of maps, from those found in 14thcentury manuscripts, through to early estate maps, to maps used in 20thcentury military campaigns.Great images are accompanied by compelling stories. Featured is a woodcut map of 16th Century London, a map of where the bombs fell during the Second World War, and a map the first American settlers drew when they were attempting to establish a new empire on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. This new edition has been revised throughout, with many new maps added, including newly discovered and digitised maps from North America. A whole new chapter, Mapping Buildings, has also been added.

I had high hopes for this book but was let down. A few pages were damaged when it arrived, and the shipping took longer than promised. The content is fascinating, but my experience was marred by the condition. Wouldn’t buy again.

A Beautiful Collection of Maps
I bought 'Their Untold Stories' for my husband, who loves history. The maps are stunning and the detail is incredible. We spent hours looking through them together, and I appreciate how they highlight treasures from the National Archives. Great coffee table book!

Great for History Buffs, But
This book is full of amazing maps and stories; however, I was a bit disappointed with the size. I thought it would be bigger based on the photos. Still, it’s interesting and informative. Just wish it had a larger format!
