Somebody anonymously started leaving intricate paper artworks in Edinburgh libraries and other cultural institutions earlier this year. As far as I've been able to find, nobody who knows the artist is speaking up. Some of the stuff is rather nice, and the artist obviously is specifically supporting the cultural scene in Edinburgh, as well as apparently being a fan of Ian Rankin. (I've enjoyed his books myself.)

Now that is cool, I esp. liked the ones that had characters climbing all over a book. Is the one in your post supposed to be a dragon hatching, I wonder?

Yep. The sculptures come with little tags, and the one for the dragon says:
"For @scotstorycenter - 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....."

What a wonderful thing todo, rather 'Banksy' in nature. They really are superb pieces of work.
