A Gnome's Christmas (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780810950177)

Following in the tradition of the bestseller Gnomes, The Complete Gnomes, and The Secret Lives of Gnomes, the picture book A Gnome's Christmas is the latest study on the lives and cultural habits 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, and it signals the coming of a new year, which the gnomes ring in with a 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."

Detailing their love of the Christmas season, Bruce Goldstone's delightful book features songs, stories, games, and recipes for holiday treats, as well as captivating artwork by celebrated artist Rien Poortvliet. Including a special holiday ornament, A Gnome's Christmas is a must-have for gnomeophiles and Christmas fans of all ages.
