Gnomes

Step into a whimsical world where gnomes thrive in underground homes and woodland hideaways. This beautifully illustrated revised edition reveals fascinating gnome secrets—from their surprising strength to their twin-child traditions—through charming full-color artwork by Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet. Physician-author Wil Huygen blends folklore with tongue-in-cheek scientific observations of gnome anatomy, habits, and daily life. Originally a New York Times bestseller and now updated with an introduction by Brian Froud (conceptual designer of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth), this delightful book enchants both children discovering gnome lore for the first time and adults savoring its clever, imaginative storytelling.
