Author Robyn Frampton created a sensation when she anonymously installed handcrafted magical “gnome homes” and “fairy houses” in a local park. This picture book takes you on an inspirational journey through this park with photo illustrations of her creations.

Robyn Frampton is the creative force behind the mystery of Firefly Forest. In the spring of 2013, she individually carved and placed installations with the help of her young sons along a well-traveled, picturesque trail in the heart of America. Robyn and her sons now reside in Utah, where she recently graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She continues to create magical spaces, most recently donating an enormous whimsical tree to Primary Children’s Hospital. Her work has recently been featured in the award-winning documentary The Gnomist, which aired on CNN in December 2015. Firefly Forest is her first picture book.
