Book Description

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."

Following in the tradition of Gnomes (which sold one million copies), The Complete Gnomes, and The Secret Lives of Gnomes, A Gnome's Christmas is the latest study on the lives and cultural habits of gnomes. Detailing their love of the Christmas season, this 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. AUTHOR BIO: Bruce Goldstone is the author of Bip in a Book with Marcel Marceau and Why Is Blue Dog Blue? with George Rodrigue. He lives in New York City. Rien Poortvliet was one of Holland's most popular artists and the author of Abrams' Gnomes and Noah's Ark, among others. Although he passed away in 1995, his books remain classics.

gnome's christmas.......2007-01-13

I enjoyed this book, but then I enjoy all of Poortvliet's work. I would recommend this to anyone.

Gnomes make me Happy.......2006-11-16

Book arrived in excellent(new) condition in a most timely manner-2 days if I remember correctly. I'm quite impressed.

Cute little thing........2006-11-13

This itsy bitsy work is great for the children. Gave three out to my GKids. For adults you might want Ms. Virtue's Healing book with Fairies. There is a World Guide if you want a vast historical review of what distant past generations have to say about nature people. If You Could Only See .. A Gnome's Story is a more modern, direct-channel of the Gnomes for those who want to learn how to see, sense, hear and feel the wee folk. If you want light reading, the Christmas book here fits in a stocking, looks real Christmasy and is a very simply written bookette that the kids will enjoy for their first introduction to Gnomes. Good for 6 - 12 years old, I would guess. Consider it.

Fun for All Ages.......2006-05-12

A Gnome's Christmas is priceless fun for all ages...I can vouch for that sinceI am 77 and love it. Poortvliet's gnomes are recognized anywhere. They are THE gnomes. If you are Finnish, you will like the mysterious box found in a barn in Finland containing this fun information about Gnomes and their lives in general, but especially Christmas customs. Anybody with crafting skill might be inspired to create a little gnome house instead of a dollhouse. I couldn't resist buying a half dozen books to give as gifts next Christmas. I'd give the book 100 stars if it were possible.

Look Gnome More!.......2004-12-06

If you're looking for the perfect Xmas gift, it's here. This charming continuation of the gnome saga is beautifully written, illustrated, and produced. It's a challenge to keep a story going even after its famed illustrator has passed on, but the author succeeds famously. Songs, fables, and even recipes capture the details of gnome life. A must-read for anyone who remembers gnome-mania from their childhood.

Book Description

Baldmoney, Sneezewort, Dodder, and Cloudberry are the last four gnomes existing in Britain. Until recently, the brothers have lived together in their oak tree home on the banks of the Folly brook. But several months ago, Cloudberry disappeared, and the others eventually decide they must try to find him.

They build a little boat to take them upstream -- and thus begins a magical and captivating adventure filled with surprises. The enchanting gnomes are forced to use all their courage and skill, and their bonds of love for each other are tested right up until the book's dramatic conclusion.

BB's classic English novel, now brought back into print as part of The Julie Andrews Collection, offers young readers humor, excitement, and the wonder of nature -- all from the perspective of four delightful, unique, and richly drawn characters.

Customer Reviews:

Nature and Fantasy.......2007-04-20

This is a lovely little book. However, Julie Andrews is not the author, as another commenter noted. She loved the book as a girl, and wanted to make it available again via her Harper Collins imprint (and actually wrote the introduction). Although the cover cryptically lists the author as "BB", the man listed as the illustrator actually wrote the story as well as doing the woodcuts in the text. Reminds me a little of Watership Down....

Little Grey Men.......2007-02-08

This is a wonderful book. One can read this book over and over again and never become tired of it. Julie Andrews is a wonderful author, she just transports you into the story, very well written and a most enjoyable story for all ages.

What a great find!.......2006-08-23

I loved the details and the descriptions in this book. The author makes everything seem so real and beautiful. It is as if I were there. It gave me a tingly feeling.

Who knows?.......2006-08-09

It's just terrible that I cannot look inside this book without having made a previous purchase! Time to shop elsewhere. One star is for Amazon's treatment of potential new customers, NOT related to this book.

Sweet little story.......2006-06-29

Did you know about the little gnomes who gather the flour and sugar we spill? This little book tells all about the Scandinavian sprites who do much of the work of Santa Claus- in a community, and therefore one presumes somewhat more efficiently than Santa Claus could do. The pictures are wonderful.
