First edition hardcover of the beloved 1977 classic Gnomes by Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen, still snug in its original dust jacket. This vintage picture book blends fairy-tale fantasy with Dutch folklore, delivering page after page of richly detailed illustrations that captivate bedtime-story readers and adult art lovers alike.
Inside, every color plate remains bright and unmarked—no writing, no dog ears, and a spine that opens smoothly. Light exterior scuffing and minor edge chips keep the price friendly while confirming gentle, smoke-free shelf life since the Carter era.
Collectors hunting Abrams’ gnome lore or parents after a timeless fantasy read will find this sturdy copy ready for display or nightly reading. Grab the 1977 first printing before it burrows away.
