Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: I remember this book as a child in our town library. I fell in love with it. I asked numerous years for this as a present for various holidays. My parents could never find it for sale. I now have a book that I can share with my children who love it as much as I did.

Rating:  Summary: great for kids and imaginative adults! :) Review: If you like mythology, fairy tales or unusual art books, then Gnomes is for you. Filled from front to back with colorful illustrations, this book is a field guide to the secret lives of the gnomes. Read about their appearances, homes, daily activities, special events, and legends. It's one of those books that even after you've read it, you'll keep going back to it again and again. And hey, it just might motivate you to get one of those lawn gnomes.
Rating:  Summary: Jessica's Bellaonline Gnome review. Review: In 1976 a delightful book was published in the Netherlands. It was titled "Leven en werken van de Kabouter". Luckily for us, the Abrams publishing company found this book and translated it to the english version, titled "Gnomes", in 1977. Twenty five years later, a special edition has been released to the public. For the art lover, this book is filled with wonderful illustrations! It was illustrated by Rien Poortvliet, and I will be doing an article on him later, for those who are interested. This book is a must have for any fantasy lover. It is formatted as a diary of Gnome facts and sightings. Many of the illustrations are accompanied by hand-written notes. The book covers all aspects of Gnome life, from birth to marriage, and on to death. Each subject is carefully organized, and written about fully! The book also briefly covers other mythological figures, of a more sinister nature. They discuss the conection that gnomes have with these creatures of darkness. At the end of the book are a few fairy tales about gnomes, these brought back many fond memories of my father reading them to me before bed time! One small note of caution; there is some nudity, and some graphic images of injuries, so I would not reccommend this book for small children. Parents, use your own judgement and preview before purchasing!

Rating:  Summary: An insider's guide to the mysterious life of gnomes. Review: This book is charmingly written and exquisitely illustrated. It takes the reader deep into the world of the Gnomes, tiny people no more than 5 inches tall that are found all over the world, but rarely ever seen by man. The habits, and history of the Gnomes are also detailed. Find out how old Gnomes live to be, what a Snotgurgle is and why Gnomes avoid trolls at all cost. You will be delighted and amazed by Gnomes and you might even begin to look for them yourself.
Rating:  Summary: The life of the Gnome Review: This book is dedicated to the life of the gnome. I have to admit that gnomes are a little strange but they're so interesting.
