Merrifield, Andrew (1993). Place and Space: a Lefebvrian Reconciliation. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 18(4), 516–531. Lefebvre himself did not go into detail on the distinction between space and place, and it has become a highly contentious topic in critical discussion. For example, Andrew Merrifield ( 1993) conceptualizes the two concepts in the article “Place and Space: a Lefebvrian Reconciliation”. A dark and dangerous world peopled by dwarves, shape-shifting vixen, mythical beasts and stone Goyls lurks on the other side of the ornate mirror in Jacob's father's study. Robinson, Will. (2014).

(2014). Imagined Communities. Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. London: Verso.Several issues arose during the process. For one thing, many of the places Sally Jones visits on her travels are merely mentioned, and function as markers. I have nevertheless chosen to map them as part of the narrative. Also, places are frequently both places of action and projected places, e.g. when the narrator recalls an earlier point in the narrative. I have mapped such places as places of action. The mapping of large areas—such as oceans, rivers, deserts or whole continents—was also an issue, as such places cannot be mapped accurately. I have therefore omitted them from the map; in this way, the novel’s actual geography goes beyond what can be visualized. Finally, there is the matter of fictional places. Almost all places in The Murderer’s Ape refer to actual locations, but there are two places I could not locate: the maharaja’s palace and Agiere. Both are central to the narrative. The novel informs us that the palace is in Bhapur in India, and that Agiere lies along the river Zezere, not far from Constancia, Santarem. I have thus mapped these toponyms to represent the novel’s two fictional places. Highly recommended as a book to share at bedtime, as it has plenty of appeal for adults, or for confident readers of ten or older, as it is quite long. I don’t know when I last read a book with such pure and unalloyed pleasure. It’s ingenious, it’s moving, it’s charming, it’s beautiful, it’s exciting, and most importantly the characters are people I feel I know like old friends’– Philip Pullman Bushell, Sally. (2015).

This mystery thriller for young readers is an excellent introduction to magic realism. This was a really lovely book, full of real human emotions and also a fair amount of humor, beautiful descriptions of various places where the characters went, beautifully written book. I do think that most young teenagers would like to read this exciting adventure story. Ernst, Waltraud, and Pati, Biswamoy (Eds.). (2007). India’s Princely States. People, Princes and Colonialism.
