Gnomes

The first documentary portrayal of Gnomes (as distinct from Elves, Goblins, Trolls, Kobolds, Fairies). Portvliet and his scientist friend Wil Huygen have spent over twenty years observing the life and work of the Gnome, and their report at last shatters the age-old myths of song and legend.
