Опис книги

Enter the magical realm of gnomes with this captivating book that unveils their hidden secrets.

This companion volume to the runaway international bestselling Gnomes takes you on a journey through lush forests, mystical gardens, and cozy underground homes, revealing the fascinating lives of these elusive creatures.

The 200 hand-illustrated pages overflow with the authors’ on-the-scene sketches and firsthand observations.

Inside this book, you'll find:

• Detailed Illustrations: Beautifully crafted images that bring the gnomes' world to life.
• Intriguing Stories: Tales of gnome adventures, wisdom, and folklore.
• Gnome Lore: Insights into gnome culture, habits, and their unique way of life.

In Secrets of the Gnomes, authors Poortvliet and Huygen are invited as more than mere observers. After a meal of mushrooms and cream (which tastes as if it were made of “everything that light, air, sun, moon, and earth could produce”), they find that they have been turned into gnomes themselves....

The authors learn of the tender emotional life of a gnome; they see and diagram the mechanics of ingenious gnome technology; they observe how gnomes administer justice in the wild; they are told how fairy tales first began (Little Red Riding Hood was actually a gnome!); and, best of all, they are allowed to see parts of the gnomes’ fabled Secret Book.

Whether you're a seasoned gnome enthusiast or new to their enchanting world, The Secrets of the Gnomes offers a delightful escape into a land of wonder and imagination. Perfect for readers who love fantasy, nature, and whimsical tales.
