The gnome in the park

I blogged before about this wooden man, I presume a gnome or another faerie or magical type of creature, reading a book in a park near the home of our friends.We went to visit them last weekend and we stopped at the park. I think it had been changed since we last went there, some extra equipment in the playground area, some extra benches too, but I was happy to see that the mysterious gnome made of stomp was still there, still reading his book with his stern face. I strongly suspect that he is the guardian of the park. I also wonder what book he reads. It is probably written in gnomish, so I would not be able to read anyway. But the gnome absolutely fascinates me.
