Cute book about gnomes. It's written in a non-fiction style that details everything you would want to know about gnomes, including physiology, culture, and other species related to or sometimes confused with gnomes. It also includes nine folk tales that have to do with gnomes. Overall, this is a fast read with beautiful illustrations, and the deluxe edition comes with 8 prints suitable for framing. ( )
I love this book it has interesting "facts" and gorgeous pictures. It is still great to read as an adult but as a child I could look at this book for hours. ( )

Now, after twenty years of observation, we feel that the time has come to put our experiences and findings on paper, having received permission, of course, from an authorized council of gnomes - which, by the way, took all of five years to make its decision.
