Tough Traveling: Well-Traveled Road
The Thursday feature “Tough Traveling” is the brainchild of Nathan of Review Barn, who has come up with the excellent idea of making a new list each week based on the most common tropes in fantasy, as seen in (and inspired by) The Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynn Jones. Nathan has invited anyone who is interested to come play along, so be sure to check out the first link for more information.
This week’s tour topic is: Well-Traveled Road
Rare is the fantasy adventure that stays close to come. Most require a long adventure down some well traveled roads…
Wendy: I drew a blank and couldn’t get further than the Kingsroad and the Yellow Brick road, and Mogsy tapped out. Fortunately, Tiara was on the ball and gave us “Knockturn Alley, Diagon Alley, the nine million roads in the LOTR series, Elm Street, Bourbon Street (since every New Orleans based novel ever has to include something happening on Bourbon), The Road to Ehvenor, etc…”

hmmm difficult topic there, I totally agree, nothing comes to my mind.

It was a difficult one. Even with the choices I managed to come up with, I felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel.

A hard topic, but like always, you guys found a way to make it work.

LOL. It was almost a skip week for us, but we managed to get a few (informal) choices up there.

This was difficult. Only roads I could think of were The Road and Wizard of Oz

They were the first two things that came to mind, even before Kingsroad for me.

There seemed to be so many roads to get places in those books. Those roads alone could’ve filled up this whole topic.

Oz references are quite always welcome. I feel the need to rewatch the wizard of oz episode of Scrubs again now.

Ah, Elm St. Such terrifying nostalgia! I loved me some Freddie Kruger back in the day. I think the Yellow Brick Road wins the award for the most distinctive well-traveled road and it didn’t even occur to me. Great job, y’all!
