Elf

Just inside any one of Elf’s storybooks you may find another much smaller book.

Look inside it and you may find a link, a note, a thought, a doodle or even a password from Elf.  It was one of his cutest ideas and we liked it. Keep it safe, dry, out of sunlight and never take it to the Isle of Man for the Fynoderee, St Trinnians Buggane, Manannán or Fodwys to see.

If you follow a link, like a yellow brick road, it may take you to something completely different.

If you receive a note,  it make take you through Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti and back to Do on a magical musical tour.

If you read a thought that resonates well, you may share it and it may go viral (and change the World).

If you find a lost doodle, it might be part of a great big jigsaw pattern that you can finish.

If you find a password,  schh! It’s best not to tell anyone. A password can be a key to a secret world as Elf found out. Hide it. Keep it safe in your mind only.

The little book inside some Little People Books begins a new story

Inside the front cover of a few select Little People Books you may discover your own  even smaller book   with a special password in it.

If you do, make sure you keep this password hidden in a safe place. So far, there are only 647 of these passwords in the whole World.  With this password, we will share our world with you and grow the Together-World.

Together-World is for the Next Generation

In our Together-World, storytelling springs out of the library and back into daily life in a realtime and interactive way.

The Next Generation shares their imagination live and recorded

Are you a password holder? If you are, you will enjoy geo-positioning paper chases, treasure hunts, using SketchupTiltbrush and building your own 3D Printer. You are the Next Generation.

Little People Books are working to build the Next Generation linking both high tech. and low tech. solutions. Opposite your little password book (see image below) is a really low-tech. pencil sketch so everyone can continue to have fun with adding colour.

As drawing is a globally shared language, please share your sketches and ‘talk’ to the world. If you do add colour to one of our pencil linework sketches, please send a photo to us for our gallery. Thank you.

We also need your support to help us work on projects to augment reality with articles stored in museum archives which are now far too fragile or difficult to put on display.

And so the story goes ….
