How come nobody leaves us a tree?!

A "poetree" that popped up at the Scottish Poetry Library
 This is a really cool story, from NPR, about a series of mysterious gifts (including a coffin!) left in  libraries, and other book related venues in Scotland. The objects were all paper sculptures crafted from books and the suspected "donors" included novelist Ian Rankin.

And who did it finally turn out to be? Well, you'll have to read the story to find out, but let's just say it probably isn't the ending you're expecting!
