There is a fantastic new exhibit at Cheekwood this summer...Treehouses, and you have until September 3 to check it out. Each of the exhibit's seven treehouses, built right into Cheekwood's landscape, is created by a different design team and focuses on a great literary work from the last two centuries. Here is a sneak peak!

THE GIVER

"Things could change...Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors." -Lois Lowry, The Giver, 1993

WALDEN TREEHOUSE

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." -Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

CONCH HOUSE

"His ordinary voice sounded like a whisper after the harsh note of the conch. He laid the conch against his lips, took a deep breath and blew once more. The note boomed again: and then at his firmer pressure, the note, fluking up an octave, became a strident blare more penetrating than before." -William Golding, Lord of the Flies, 1954

THE JOLLY ROGER

"One green light squinting over Kidd's Creek, which is near the mouth of the pirate river, marked where the brig, the Jolly Roger, lay, low in the water; a rakish-looking craft foul to the hull...She was the cannibal of the seas, and scarce needed that watchful eye, for she floated immune in the horror of her name." -J.M. Barrie, Peter and Wendy, 1911

UP AND DOWN AGAIN, A HOBBIT'S TALE

"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something." -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, 1937

THE RAINBOW FISH

"The Rainbow Fish shared his scales left and right, and the more he gave away, the more delighted he became. When the water around him filled with glimmering scales, he at last felt at home among the other fish." -Marcus Pfister, The Rainbow Fish, 1992

OCEAN OF NOTIONS

"He looked into the water and saw that it was made up of a thousand thousand thousand and one different currents, each one a different colour, weaving in and out of one another like a liquid tapestry of breathtaking complexity; and Iff explained that these were the Streams of Story, that each coloured strand represented and contained a single tale." -Salman Rushdie, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, 1991
