I had a copy of this beloved book until my recent move. Many of my items arrived soaking wet, this book among them. I tried to salvage it but mold had already set in & the pages stuck together. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find another copy! It is the complete life & times of the original Gnomes! Everything you could want to know in detailed illustrations & hand-written descriptions is in this big book.

I am always fascinated the history of the Gnomes. I bought one (new) years ago exactly just like the one that I bought at e-bay but it was damaged by flood in the basement. For the meantime, my daughter was still a little girl, and I realized she still doesn't understand yet the concepts of the Gnomes. The Gnomes was introduced to me when I read about in the Readers Digest years ago. I was impressed with the illustration that it was so real in my imagination. It reminded me that I could be a part of their lives if I was a little girl then. They are so cute!! Everywhere I go, my daughter observed that I buy Gnomes woodcarvings, they are known to protect the household and you; throw blankets (Afghans) of Gnomes from Swedish stores that would cost me an arm and a leg, and I will also point out to my daughter when Gnomes are drawn in cards. Still, she has not paid any attention. I bought her a book regarding about 2 Gnomes that one of the always looks up and the other one always looks down.She loves the story. She was 8 years old then. Finally, I bought her this Gnome book lately; she is years old already!!!; my goodness!! the fascination in her eyes and the interest to read each page; the wheels are turning in her head, her sense of artistry with the captivating illustrations and color, and the very CUUTTEEE Gnome house that fist captivated my attention years ago; caught my daughter's attention too!! Oh what a sight to see her that I made the right purchase for a descent deal!!Read full review
I can not be happier with this book, it's beautiful and imaginative. The illustrations are very cute and story is so detailed that it seems like if everything in the gnomes world were real. No puedo estar más feliz con este libro, es hermoso e imaginativo. Las ilustraciones son muy lindas y la historia se cuenta tan detallada que parece que todo el mundo de los gnomos fuera real.
