Imagination – life would be unbearable without it. I was an imaginative child, and much of it was sparkled by books and all those stories hidden inside…
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
Jorge Luis Borges
Personally, I would sooner have written Alice in Wonderland than the whole Encyclopedia Britannica.
Stephen Leacock
This piece of Encyclopaedia Britannica was bought by my daughter, who used her imaginative creativity to make it end up as my birthday present!
Leya 
Wow, that is really one creative and impressive approach! I love books – also when they have this original look 🙂
I guess you do! And that’s wonderful, that feeling.
Wow, that`s well done! Not only Siri and Selma are utterly impressed.
As I am just changing my shelving I found several old encyclopedias I don`t need any longer. Therefore I am very interested in the know how. How did you cut the pages?
Love
Klausbernd
I will most certainly ask my daughter. I don’t think they are cut, really, I think they are folded in intriguing ways…
Dear Klausbernd, my daughter did this her own way – experimenting. But I asked her where she had been inspired, and it was in Malmoe, Sweden, at an art and crafts. She sends you this link and the best of luck for you, Dina and the fayries with this little tutorial:

Dear Leya,
thank you very much and thanks to your daughter as well. Our Bookfayries and me we love such crafty stuff. And it’s folding ”only”, very sophisticated, indeed!
Ha en fin dag
