The Secret Book of Gnomes is a series of books about Gnomes designed for children. They contain fictional stories and guides about how Gnomes live in harmony with their environment, such as what a Gnome has in his first aid kit and how a Gnome's house is built. The books were written by the Dutch author Wil Huygen and illustrator Rien Poortvliet, though they have claimed that parts were written by a Gnome called David. Those authors also created another series about Gnomes entitled The Gnomes. That later was used as a basis for the television shows David the Gnome and Wisdom of the Gnomes by BRB Internacional.
