Description
by Rien Poortvliet (Illustrator), Wil Huygen (Author)
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....
