It would be very easy to ruin the magic of this gorgeous show with a few clumsy spoilers. So to maintain the mystique, let’s just say it’s a truly memorable one, beautifully designed and full of cool things. A big chunk of what makes it so special is the spell that is cast quickly over the small group of primary school-age kids, thanks to Perry, the cardigan-wearing apprentice at the Lost Lending Library.

He builds the hype around the 314 floor-high building, with its millions of books inside and its ability to travel the world. We’re in luck, he explains, as today the wooden door to the amazing library has landed in Edinburgh, behind a velvet curtain that he’s about to pull back. But as book lovers know, the best stories involve obstacles and conflict, so first there are riddles to solve, hidden rooms to explore and smoking clues to find. Enchanting things are stashed in corners of the Church Hill Theatre, which works well as the multi-room setting for the interactive adventure.

Punchdrunk Enrichment, the community theatre charity behind The Lost Lending Library, know how to fire up imaginations with their well-woven yarn about flying buildings, spider worlds, hot air balloons and dusty books. Peabody, the guardian of the library’s Miscellaneous Department, helps Perry tell the story, but the kids play a crucial role in the writing too. A very fun 55 minutes in another wonderful dimension.

The Lost Lending Library, Church Hill Theatre, until 27 August, times vary.
