A Donsy of Gnomes – seven gentle gnome stories

A Donsy of Gnomes: Seven Gentle Gnome Stories
Step into Limindoor Woods, where quiet magic stirs among mossy roots and trickling streams, and gnomes and talking animals share lessons that linger long after storytime ends.

In this beloved collection, you’ll meet eight unforgettable gnomes — Mossy, Pebble, Teasel, Tweed, and their friends —along with wise and whimsical forest creatures. Together, they bring to life timeless values of kindness, courage, resourcefulness, and friendship. Each story is a gentle adventure, woven with the rhythms of the seasons, the beauty of nature, and the wonder of childhood imagination.  

A Donsy of Gnomes is more than just seven enchanting stories—it’s a treasure trove of extras to make the magic last:

• Tips for telling the stories  and bringing them to life in fresh, imaginative ways, including ideas as puppet shows, plays, and nature table scenes
• Sweet gnome crafts, like making your own gnome hat and a felted gnome
• A family recipe for a special strawberry shortcake
• A lovely grace and bedtime verse to express peace and gratitude

Whether your child is just discovering the world of gnomes or you’re adding to a well-loved shelf, this gentle collection will become a keepsake to return to again and again — one that children will carry in their hearts, and perhaps share someday with little ones of their own.
