Created by the highly acclaimed paper engineer Corina Fletcher and brought to life through vibrant and detailed pictures from the hugely talented Britta Teckentrup.
This brilliant and ingenious novelty package comprises a pop-up storybook, which then unfolds and transforms into a 3D castle playmat revealing an entire medieval word. Also with cut-out knights and animals for added fun in the forest setting! Then fold it away and store it in its own box-style slipcase - perfect portable fun for journeys, playdates and bedtime too.
