The mystery of the paper sculptures left in Edinburgh's libraries, at book festivals, and even tucked away in book shops, has apparently been solved by Mr. Garry Gale, the former music librarian to The Edinburgh Evening News ("Sculpture whodunnit solved").
Solved -- but not revealed. Readers were asked whether or not they wanted to know the name of the artist... and the readers said "no."
You may have followed the story on NPR, as it was reported by Robert Krulwich in his blog, Krulwich Wonders with the posts Who Left A Tree, Then A Coffin In The Library and The Library Phantom Returns.
As Krulwich notes, there is a "picture-rich version of this tale at This is Central Station, an Edinburgh-based website that features many more photos... from photographer Chris Scott."
