My copy of MoTHL is a 1988 reprint of a 1983 edition, and says it is from Puffin Books in association with Oxford University Press. It DOES have a page labelled "Place-names Mentioned in this Story".
I still got lost in the Highlands.
I like following the geography of the places that I know better, eg York, Chester, Uffington etc but the Highlands is so very large and so very heathery. I find it hard to keep a mental map and secretly suspect that Sutcliff may have had similar problems.
(I got my copy of MoTHL second hand and it seems to have begun life as a school library copy from a school with remarkably little taste, since it has no stamps on the borrowing slip at all)
