HAMPSHIRE’S favourite bear features in a series of explorer maps.

And young adventurers can follow Binky’s paw prints to explore Alresford, Winchester, and London.

Binky is the brainchild of authors Moira Blackwell and Liz Nankivell, who live in Alresford, and his adventures feature in ‘Binky In Trouble’, ‘Binky’s Big Adventure’, and ‘Binky Goes to London’.

The maps are illustrated by Emma Bubeer.

Liz said: “Binky Bear books are local bestsellers with beautiful photographic illustrations and built-in maps which are widely used at Key Stage 1 in local Hampshire schools to teach geography and map reading.”

The books are on sale in Waterstone’s in Alton.
