From all directions
Designer Jeroen Verheij shares details about the new fairy tale: “In the Fairy Tale Library, you'll soon see all the books full of stories that the Fairy Tale Collector has gathered during his travels. You'll also meet seven hardworking dwarfs who, over the years, have traveled from every corner of the world with the Fairy Tale Collector. They keep the Fairy Tale Library tidy, cozy and as complete as possible, because the Fairy Tale Collector is often out and about.”
The Fairytale Library is taking shape
Meanwhile, there’s a lot happening in the Fairytale Forest too. Site manager Koen Hellings is busy with it every day: “Hidden among the trees of the Fairytale Forest, a grand library is rising on a very small construction site. The location, close to where The Chinese Nightingale used to be, is beautiful of course, but it does bring some challenges. Everything has to fit just right. By now, the foundation is in place and we’re building up about nine meters high. The frame is up already! We’re building under the watchful eye of the Fairytale Collector. Every now and then, he drops by to check if we’re still on track.”
