Description
Gnom, Tonttu, Kabouter, and Mano are all names for the delightful and mischievous creature we call the Gnome. Since the beloved Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet an his scientist friend Wil Huygen wrote their detailed guide to Gnomes over thirty-five years ago, Gnomes have been sighted all over the globe--people's fascination with Gnome-spotting has even begun to rival bird-watching! With this in mind, Abrams created this celebratory thirty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic Gnomes.Hone your Gnome knowledge with the detailed descriptions and illustrations provided by Huygen and Poortvliet. Did you know that a Gnome is seven times as strong as a human? Or that Gnomes rub noses in both greeting and farewell? Or that the average Gnome lifespan is four hundred years?

Important events from Gnome history are catalogued here: the Gnome who knew Rembrandt reveals fascinating behind-the-scenes gossip, and Mozart's Gnome companion describes the great musician at work.Gnome culture, too, is given its due,
