In 1849 miners flocked to what is now Placerville, California in search of gold. Before the prospectors arrived, the forests and streams were home to little curious gnomes. Throughout the town's history, these gnomes have hidden in plain sight and delighted in the antics of humans. In modern times, the gnomes of Placerville have come out of hiding and can be found people-watching on Main Street. The Gnomes of Placerville is a book written and illustrated by C. Thompson to work in tandem with the small clay gnomes she has hidden around Placerville, California for years. These gnomes, and their exploits can be found on social media by searching the hashtag #PVGnomey.
