Book Fairies on the Heidi Trail
It was only natural that at some point the The Woolf would again team up with the Book Fairies of Switzerland and share in a bit of literary fun! Louise Gooding and company hop on a gondola and hide books for unsuspecting wanderers.
In Conversation: Ellie Gooding
Move over tooth fairies! There’s a new kind of pixie about and it is taking the world by storm: The Book Fairies, a worldwide network of book lovers who leave free books in public for other people to find. Eleanor Gooding is Switzerland’s first official Book Fairy and she’s on the hunt for new recruits.
The Voyage Out: The Book Fairy
““There,” she points to the sculpture at the top of the opera house steps, and grins. A perfect hiding spot. She skips up the steps and turns. Adult or kids’ book, what do you think?” She looks up at me, arms outstretched, a book wrapped in ribbons in each hand.” Ellie Gooding, Zürich’s Book Fairy, shows Susan Platt how it’s done.
