This is the book cover for 'The Book of Lost Things' by John Connolly created by paper cutting designer, Rob Ryan. This intricate piece suits the title well as the carvings are so small, it is hard to find all the details and the key pattern fits that theme of finding hidden things and looking. Looking at the title and the cover makes me think that the book is a mystery/fantasy story as the figures look secretive and fairy-like. The leaves and thorn bushes could link to an outdoor setting and the mass of thorns represent a journey hardships and possibly danger as indicated by the daggers. The thorns may indicate a complicated relationship as heart it is help up by a string, as if to tantalize someone.
