Adventures in Gnomeland The Migrating Gnomes Hans Larson is a Woodland Gnome and Protector of the Forests of Southern California. He lives with his wife, Gertie, and son, Eino, and daughter, Lula, somewhere hidden in the forests. Standing only 13 acorns tall as a full grown adult, the California Gnomes blend easily into the forest and scrubs that grow naturally in the mountains and foothills. This story tells about their move from their home and neighbors and into a new part of the forest. We see the distress that moving causes Lula and how she overcomes the challenges of a new school and new friends with the help of her old friend, Mr Tortoise and her pet squirrel, Munchie.
