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.
