Alley Nook

Show a lit miniature alley between books

A book nook: a box the size of a fat book that slides between the books on a shelf and shows a lit alley inside. Three receding facades with arches and windows give false perspective, an LED fairy string or puck at the back lights it, and the top is closed to keep the scene dark.
