Something berry sweet is happening in Marifini Hollow!

Meet Benny Berrybite, the Hollow's mischievous little berry enthusiast and the featured gnome in August's chapter of The Listening Season, the enchanting year-long story that unfolds one chapter at a time throughout Marifini Hollow.

Benny has a serious appreciation for berries. In fact, he considers himself something of a berry expert, always happy to lend a helping hand during harvest season. His favourite job? Checking the berries for ripeness, of course! Although, with twelve berries picked and eleven mysteriously sampled, the Hollow's residents have started questioning his methods. Benny insists it's all part of the quality-control process!

But beneath his berry-stained fingers and cheeky grin, Benny's August adventure brings another little discovery to the Hollow, reminding everyone that sometimes the sweetest surprises appear when you least expect them.

While each monthly chapter is a complete, standalone story that can be enjoyed on its own, together the twelve chapters (from March 2026–February 2027) create Season One of Marifini Hollow, revealing an interconnected tale filled with friendship, wonder, and hidden magic.

This August box includes:

🍓 Benny Berrybite collectible handmade miniature gnome
📖 August's chapter of The Listening Season
🏡 Miniature keepsake house
🎨 Exclusive collectible print and themed keepsakes

📖 A Story Worth Collecting

You'll receive the month's story chapter printed on beautiful gold-foil-flake-decorated pages—not a bound book. These pages are specially designed to be collected throughout the year, allowing you to build your own story one chapter at a time.

Each chapter is a complete adventure you can enjoy on its own, but together, the twelve chapters (March 2026–February 2027) create The Listening Season—the very first book in the ongoing tales of Marifini Hollow.

As your collection grows, so does your story. By the end of the season, you'll have all the pages needed to bind your very own keepsake storybook, creating a one-of-a-kind collector's edition that you've assembled chapter by chapter alongside your miniature gnome collection.

There's something magical about watching the story come together—one month, one gnome, and one chapter at a time. We can't wait for you to experience the joy of turning a year's worth of adventures into your very own book! 🍄📚✨

Please note: This listing is for August's individual monthly box only and is not a subscription.

It is the perfect option for:

• Collectors who would like to welcome Benny Berrybite into their collection.

• Gnome Keepers Club members who joined recently and are missing August's chapter and don't want to miss out on the full story of The Listening Season.

Whether you're collecting every chapter or filling a missing place in your Marifini Hollow collection, Benny Berrybite is ready to bring a little berry-sweet mischief into your home—with strawberry adventures, cheeky surprises, and perhaps a berry or two mysteriously missing along the way! 🍓✨
