Your imagination illustrated ..., 2008-07-21
I read this book as a kid, and read it again as a adult. It's a great book, beautiful illustrations, ... wonderfully done.

Dazzling, Beautiful, Awe-Inspiring, Thought-Provoking . . ., 2003-08-13
I was fortunate enough to get a mint-condition copy of this out-of-print book, a sequal to the New York Times #1 bestseller masterpiece GNOMES. While that book was more of an encyclopedia format, this is an actual storybook (though still complete with pages and pages of informarion on Gnomes' lives), and a damned good one at that. In fact, this is on my Top Three list of favorite books of all time. The illustrations are what would probably attract most people, as they easily rival the best of Alan Lee and Brian Froud. But take time to actually (and throughly) read it; you will be stunned at it's ability to make you think a great deal. One of the few books I have ever read to truly deserve the word "magical".

Lovely sequel to Gnomes, 2001-09-06
If you own the first book of Gnomes by these talented authors and illustrators, then you really do need to find a copy of this one. It has the same magic and attention to detail, but gives you a greater insight into the lives of these little busy creatures, with just the right amount of whimsy.There is more focus on different tales from various parts of the world, and certainly more of the fabulous drawings. Again this book is worth the purchase for the illustrations alone.

Great book!, 2001-04-30
This is a wonderful book that I read when I managed to locate a copy in my public Library. I'd give a nut to actually acquire my own copy. If I don't find one soon you can be damn sure that I'll pinch the library's copy

The Gnome's continuation!, 2000-05-09
This a great continuation, with better illustrations than the first book, Gnomes, the autors became gnomes, and went to the world of these small criatures. If you have the first book, you must have this one!
