WORLD OF GNOMES NOW

Gnomes by  Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen is an observation of the local gnome population in Holland. It covers all areas of gnome culture, including architecture, education, courtship, medicine, industry, and relationships with other mythical creatures. Having studied and interviewed gnomes for two decades, Poortvliet and Huygen set out to create their own classic masterpiece.

The sober descriptions by Huygen are combined with the light-hearted portrayals by Poortvliet of gnomes at work and at play. Thirty years later, this beautifully illustrated volume continues to engage and enchant readers of all ages.
