David the Gnome female gnomes Rien Poortvliet

The world of David the Gnome

Anyone who grew up in the eighties knows them: David the Gnome and his family living in their underground home in harmony with nature. The series brought the fairy-tale world of gnomes to life and turned generations of children into fans of these little forest dwellers. These three ladies bring those warm memories back.

Rien Poortvliet and his gnomes

Illustrator Rien Poortvliet gave the gnomes their familiar faces: wise men with pointed caps, long white beards and women wearing detailed clothing. His book about the life and work of gnomes became a worldwide bestseller and formed the basis for the animated series. These little figures capture that characteristic style in miniature.

Small but delightful collecting

Thanks to their compact size, these figures fit anywhere: on a bookshelf between books, in a display case with other gnome items or in a miniature garden. Together they form a cozy trio; separately they also work as small accents around the room. Anyone who already owns more gnome figures will effortlessly complete the set with these.

A nostalgic gift

Do you know someone who grew up with David the Gnome or still loves the atmosphere surrounding gnomes? Then this set is a great choice. It is a personal gift that instantly evokes memories of bedtime stories and Saturday morning television. Also lovely as decoration for a child's room with a fairy-tale theme.
