This book is inspired by El Alisal, the handcrafted home of Charles Fletcher Lummis — a writer, editor of the L.A. Times, Los Angeles’s first city librarian, and founder of the Southwest Museum. Lummis built the stone house himself with his son, using boulders from the nearby Arroyo Seco. Known for its mystery and charm, the house includes a hidden attic room — which inspired me to conceal a secret mini-book within the main design, a nod to Lummis’s spirit of curiosity and craftsmanship.
