Stack of Books - Never Never Land, Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, WA - Ginormous Everyday Objects on Waymarking.com

This giant stack of books marks the entrance to what was at one time "Never Never Land", a fairy tale themed area within Point Defiance Park. At one time Humpty Dumpty was perched atop these books, however he no longer welcomes visitors. (Check out Roadsideamerica.com's Never Never Land Webpage for a photo showing Humpty Dumpty on the books) When the fairy tale land opened in the 1960's there were over 100 fiberglass figures. On our visit we only saw the ruins of 4 fairy tales: this one - Humpty Dumpty, The Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe, Hickory Dickory Dock, and Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod's boat.

It was sad to visit. I still remember wandering the trails as a little girl and the delight of walking through the forest and discovering fairy tales come to life around every corner. Sadly, due to vandalism the parks department has demolished most of the area and added a few picnic tables and some playground equipment as a replacement.
