Robyn Frampton is the creative force behind the mystery of Firefly Forest, a project she began in 2013 as part of her personal journey toward hope and healing. A self-taught carpenter, she individually carved and placed each door along a well-traveled, picturesque trail in the heart of America with the help of her young sons. She continues to create magical spaces, and her work has recently been featured in the award-winning documentary The Gnomist which aired on CNN in 2015. Robyn and her sons now reside in Utah. She is the author of Firefly Forest.
Having grown up with two rowdy older brothers, a vast collection of books and a muddy creek in the backyard, illustrator Laura K.
