Synopsis

Gnomes are the mascots of the English garden. Loved and loathed in equal measure, they nonetheless hold a unique and essential place in the country's garden heritage. Award-winning photographer and author Vivian Russell presents an intimate portrait of these often shy garden dwellers, photographing and writing about ten gardens in which they are to be found. This book celebrates the various ways people have used them in their gardens, creating Lilliputian worlds of great charm and originality.

Media Reviews
'There were gnomes all over the garden, giving the place a jovial feel. It was as if nature was smiling, enjoying a joke under the sun, always laughing, always aware of the essential humour of all living things. The gnomes seemed to be laughing at all stress, all fretting, all inflation of human things to levels of greater importance than they truly deserved.' from In Arcadia, Ben Okri
