Introduction by Brian Froud, conceptual designer of the Jim Henson films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth
Did you know that gnome couples always have twin children? Or that a gnome is seven times as strong as a human? Do you want to hear some gossip from the gnome who knew Rembrandt?
Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet's charming full-color illustrations and physician Wil Huygen's detailed observations of the gnomes' habits, anatomy, and lifestyle are a delight for readers of all ages. Children will adore the gnome family's underground home and the constant interaction with animals; adults will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek scientific data.
Gnomebody is immune to the gnomes' tremendous appeal--and a whole new generation is waiting to love them for the first time!
