Hello Readers,

I just received this from a Donsy of Gnomes fan. It is too precious not to share.

Do remember that the Holidays are coming. What little child wouldn't love a book of gnome stories?

Hi Sigi, Tonight Griffy drew a picture of the gnomes from the Donsy book and I just had to send it to you.  It's one of the most beautiful pictures he's ever made, and he can tell you exactly which gnome is which.  The one in the lower right hand corner (he explained) is see-through because he's invisible.  I think there's a gnome he added, of his own, but I'm not sure.

You see how deeply your stories have touched him?

A definite buy for parents (and teachers!) who bring Mother Nature, visible and invisible, to their children.“
---Reg Down, author of The Tales of Tiptoes Lightly series

“This grouping of magical stories is one for every bookshelf. These gnomes will surprise and delight you. I have read many gnome story books, but this one is simply the best!” - Melisa Nielsen, Waldorf curriculum author, co-owner of A Little Garden Flower

"I loved all the stories my mom told me from a Donsy of Gnomes. In our house, we love gnomes and fairies. My favorite part was about when Ms. Sigi was a girl. In the book she talked about seeing gnomes and that makes me excited to find my own. -Elleanor Nicol Tow, 8 years old, lover of gnomes

“What a perfect little book for young children! Take your child on a charming and jaunty journey through the worlds of the wee folk. It’s just the thing for sweet dreams at night, or a pause in the midst of a busy day. I predict that this will be one of the books that will remain alive in your children’s hearts long after they have grown and have children of their own.”
- Nancy Parsons, www. waldorfbooks.com
