Gnomes, originally published in Dutch in 1976 as Leven en werken van de kabouter, then released in English in 1977, is a fiction book written by Wil Huygen and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet.
Gnomes have long been a staple in children's and fairy tales literature. These mythical creatures are often depicted as small, bearded men who live in gardens and forests, and are known for their mischievous behavior.
The history of gnomes in literature dates back to the 16th century, when Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and alchemist, first wrote about "earth elementals" in his work "Liber de Nymphis, sylphis, pygmæis et salamandris et de caeteris spiritibus." He described them as creatures that lived in the earth and were responsible for the growth and fertility of plants. These creatures were later referred to as gnomes by other writers.
Dimension reference: Gnome height shown 2 1/4" (i.e., 57 mm).
