Gnomes is the product of Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen’s observation of the local gnome population in Holland.
Until Gnomes was first published in Dutch in 1976, these friendly nocturnal creatures were only represented in folk lore; descriptions were often incomplete or simply inaccurate.
Poortvliet and Huygen, having studied and interviewed gnomes for two decades, set out to fill this gap with their own encyclopedic tome.

Review by J. W. Mullins for Gnomes 30th Anniversary Edition

This isn’t a book that would normally make its way into my reading pile but I am glad it did. I remember growing up and watching a show called David the Gnome and this book helped my to capture a little bit of my lost youth.
It is wonderfully written and illustrated. The descriptions are so well written and so detailed that you shouldn’t be surprised to find yourself absently staring at your own garden trying to capture a glimpse of the Gnomes yourself. This is a great read and would make a wonderful present for yourself or someone you know looking to add just a little bit of magic to their lives.

This book is fabulous. It has an in depth background about gnomes and the illustration is amazing! I’ve picked it up so many times and learned something new each time. After reading it I had to bring some gnomes home to hang out around the house. I do see little things they work on around the yard he-he. We’ve passed the book all around to friends and family to look through and enjoy.

I was enchanted when I first pored over this as a six-year-old, and am equally enchanted today, 30 years later. The illustrations and writing are not only timeless, but ageless as well… I suspect I will be equally moved 30 years hence!

This will be the third time I am buying this book. My previous two copies were “borrowed” by friends who have now been blacklisted from browsing my library.
It has been many years since I explored the world of these lovable gnomes who were very much more aware of nature than we will ever be.
In their world, harmony is key.
It almost makes me want to shrink down to their size so I can see the wonder of moonlight journeys on foxback.
Again, I buy this for my future grand-children. And when a child crosses my path… Some visions ae best enjoyed when shared.

I have a swedish friend who, when Christmas was around the corner wouldn’t stop talking about this book. I purchased the book because after so many descriptions from it I was just excited about reading it, and I do not regret purchasing it! It is beautiful, the images, the book in general the story, and everything seems so real you just get carried away. I would recomend it to anyone who is thinking about it to just get it, you will not regret it!
