A few links for you to peruse in your spare time. I have a lot of this lately.
The first is from a monster database/encyclopedia. Based off of Wil Hygen's book of gnomes (which I have previously cited on this blog long ago), this account of gnomes is pretty classic. Also, this doesn't end with just gnomes, the rest of the site is full of cool entries on all sorts of things that go bump in the night including aliens, Godzilla, fairies, and mummies.

Speaking of nerds... this next one is from World of Warcraft, of which I do not play. I gave up on the franchise after War Craft Three, some things are just too time consuming. Anyway, this is the WoW (i cant believe i just used that acronym) site's article on gnomes. It seems that they have confused gnomes for gremlins, or some sort of mechanically inclined dwarf. Either way, I'm not impressed.

I included this website because, well... why not? They seem to be passionate about gnomes, just like me. So, I figure, a little free promotion doesn't hurt. Although, no one reads my blog anyway. According to this site, there is a World Wide Gnome Association with a president... and a queen. This site is full of links to gnome related material, including poetry, diaries, pictures, biographies, etc. Not sure how many are dead links, but you can find out for yourself.

This last link is for all the gardeners and outdoorsy types who like to decorate with gnome themed items.
Gnome Town USA (appears to be somewhere in northern New Jersey) sells garden gnomes in three sizes, outdoor furniture, birdhouses, and artificial rocks (I can't imagine why).
