Gnomes (first published in Dutch in 1976 as Leven en werken van de kabouter; English, 1977), one in a series of books, was written by Wil Huygen and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet.[1] The book explains the life and habitat of gnomes in an in-universe fashion, much like a biology book would do, complete with illustrations and text book notes.
The 1980 film Gnomes, and the series David the Gnome and Wisdom of the Gnomes are based on this book.
The book was followed by:
- The Secret Book of Gnomes by Huygen and Poortvliet
- The Complete Gnomes (compilation of the first two books) by Huygen and Poortvliet
- Gnome Life by Huygen
- A Gnome's Christmas by Poortvliet
