Matilda Book Nook Kit

‘So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone’, from ‘Matilda’ by Roald Dahl (1916-90)
A clever all-cardboard kit to create a ‘book nook’: a 3-D diorama which sits between your books on a bookcase or shelf to add a decorative flourish and give a glimpse into a miniature world. Inspired by Roald Dahl’s (1916-90) much-loved children’s book ‘Matilda’, published in 1988, and reproducing the characterful illustrations of Quentin Blake (b.1932). The enchanting kit creates a book-shaped case in which Matilda sits surrounded by her beloved books, including 'Perfect Pranks', 'World Atlas', and 'Fabulous Fairytales'. With shelves-filled with tiny books, fun posters, a cosy armchair and a lamp shade, you will be transported to Matilda’s imaginary world. Complete with adorable details from the story, such as a bag of itching powder; mug with a newt; bottles of hair dye and tonic; and Matilda’s rucksack. Created from sustainable FSC materials, press-out the cardboard and paper pieces and the intricate scene slots together without glue. A delightful gift idea for anyone who, like Matilda, is comforted and nurtured by the magic of books.
