Whole lotta gnome photos

If you want to see a lot of different styles of gnomes, a lot of gnomes grouped together and all the crazy ways people collect and put gnomes in their yards, this is the book for you. This is not a book so much about the fantasy species of Gnome, but about actual garden gnomes - the statue kind. It does have information in it about both garden gnome statuary and "real" gnomes. It discusses the gnomes as if they are sentient while still acknowledging that they are statues. Learn about the garden gnome sanctuary in England and gnome holidays and learn that, if you are crazy about garden gnomes, you are not alone!
