Gnomes by Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen pairs lush watercolor art with cozy folklore, turning every page of this 1977 Abrams classic into a miniature fantasy world. The oversize hardcover invites readers of every age to peek inside mushroom homes, watch bearded gardeners at work, and believe again in hidden forest folk.

This vintage first-edition keeps its original illustrated dust jacket, tight binding, and crisp pages—no writing, no dog ears, no smoky scent. Light cover scuffing and a few faint inner marks are noted for accuracy, yet the book presents beautifully on shelf or coffee table, ready for bedtime stories or display.

Collectors seek the 1977 Gnomes picture book for its museum-quality art and enduring charm; gift-givers love its gentle, all-ages magic. Secure this gently-loved copy while it’s available and let the gnomes move into your home.
