Bring home the cozy magic of the holidays with A Gnome’s Christmas, illustrated by Rien Poortvliet, beloved creator of Gnomes and The Secret Lives of Gnomes. When a mysterious greenwood box is discovered in the rafters of an old barn in northern Finland, it is found to contain tiny bundles of paper, each revealing remarkable descriptions of the Christmas rituals of the gnomes. In every gnome home around the world, Christmas lasts an entire month, signaling the coming of a new year — which the gnomes ring in with this blessing: “May this year be full of proud deeds and silly games, beautiful songs and hearty feasts, clever jokes, loving friends, and enough surprises to keep us on our toes.” Details: • Hardcover with decorative flocked (velvet) border • Clean pages and tight binding • Includes one original cut-out gnome ornament from the pocket in the back (may have originally contained more) • Small section of original price tag remains on cover (see photo) • Stored in a pet-free, smoke-free home A delightful holiday collectible — whimsical, nostalgic, and richly illustrated. Perfect for display, gifting, or adding a touch of Scandinavian magic to your Christmas décor.
