Gnomes Hardcover - 1977
by Wil Huygen
Discover the enchanting world of Gnomes in this beautifully illustrated collector's edition. Based on scientific observations and filled with verbal fun, 'Gnomes' will appeal to readers of all ages, from little ones to sophisticates, offering a charming piece of make-believe reality.
About this book
Treating his subject as Audubon might have treated a new species of bird (and with a twinkle in his eye) the artist portrays Gnome families in their daily - actually nightly - activities, since Gnomes never leave their underground houses in daylight. Follow Papa Gnome as he rises for breakfast in the early evening; see him chopping wood, working in a Gnome foundry or glass factory, and assisting various animal friends in distress. For Gnomes are benevolent allies of wild animals (and human beings as well, though we are seldom aware of their intervention). Watch Gnome workers disentangle a deer's horns from barbed wire; see how Gnomes build their houses, educate their children, court and marry, travel on a honeymoon! A delight to the eye and filled with verbal fun, 'Gnomes' will be a treat for the whole family: as a book to show little ones, as a spoof of scientific studies for the sophisticate, and as a charming piece of make-up reality for every reader.
Summary
The delightful classic Gnomes has been repackaged in this exceptional collector’s edition to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this magical book. The beloved Gnomes was first published in 1976 and the world became enchanted with the simple and diligent ways of these special creatures. Based on Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen’s scientific observation of the local gnome population in Holland, Gnomes covers all areas of gnome culture: architecture, education, courtship, medicine, industry, and relationships with other mythical creatures. Thirty-five years later, this beautifully illustrated book continues to bring joy to readers of all ages. This revised collector’s edition of Gnomes features a new introduction, eight removable prints in a back cover envelope, and an all-new signature of never-before-published gnome sketches by artist Rien Poortvliet on distinctive sketchbook paper (from the publisher).
