Mystery Gifts

By Jane Eagland | Published: December 5, 2011

Late in the day I have come across this lovely story: that over the last year someone has been leaving beautiful paper sculptures made from books in various locations in Edinburgh associated with the arts.

Here is one:

 

dragon sculpture

The accompanying label reads:

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…..

I see this partly as a celebration of how books nourish writers; writers nourish readers.

You can see more of the sculptures and read about them here.
