Found this book in my father's effects and cleaned it up a bit - and WOW. Published in 1923 (so Dad would have been about 4) by Doubleday, Page & Co., "Wonder Movies" by Victor M. Earle (illustrated by Benjamin Seielstad) is an ingenious 1920s interactive novelty book.

Vintage sepia fantasy map and illustrated guide for The Man with Four Shadows: Tales of the Wandering Mists – Book 2. An ornate Victorian-style border surrounds a hand-drawn map centered on the walled city of Atavi Cerno, nestled among mountain ranges and winding rivers. Decorative compass roses, castles, ships, clouds, and a moon reinforce the antique steampunk and magical cartography aesthetic.
