The Complete Gnomes

Amazing book, warm and witty in its presentation - a delightful coffee table item, especially to have out during the winter holidays. The amount of "historical data" far outweighs that listed anywhere else and its illustrations rival the written text for the amount of information they contain. For anyone interested in the little guys this is a must have.

A VOLUME RICH WITH ILLUSTRATIONS

According to Webster's, gnomes are "dry, wizened little old men." Not so! They are irresistible ruddy cheeked playful little individuals who have amazing adventures. To prove this see "The Complete Gnomes." Composed of the extraordinarily popular Gnomes and Secrets of the Gnomes, this enchanting volume is rich with Poortvliet's beautifully detailed illustrations and filled with gnome news - the gnome who knew Rembrandt relates some tasty tidbits. What a happy book!

The most amazing Gnomes compilation ever!
