The Library Phantom!

I stumbled across this incredible story on NPR. Apparently, a very talented book artist has been leaving "gifts" all over Edinburgh, Scotland. The exceptional sculptures are, in the words of the artist, "in support of libraries, books, words, ideas..."

I highly recommend that your read the original stories on NPR:
And the follow up: The Library Phantom Returns!

Here are a few of my favorites:


This tree takes my breath away and the eggs are lined with gold leaf.


"A gift in support of libraries, books, works, ideas... Once upon a time there was a book and in the book was a nest and in the nest was an egg and in the egg was a dragon and in the dragon was a story..."


Yes, those feathers are made out of paper, book paper.


O loves this little T-Rex, the story shows his tail peeking out of the back of the book.
