I googled the origin of gnomes and found this ....I like the idea of the garden gnomes telling melancholy stories tales...maybe they are actually our own alter egos...lol...I knew that they had originated in Scandinavia..lol..look a lot like my Scandinavian ancestors...lol...there are somehere that I would rather not know...yikes!...hmmm..not unlike life in general I suppose...have fun GN...I am sure you have the delightful gnomes just as you are...hugs..x ~Cat

Origin :Originating in Scandinavia, Gnomes later migrated to the lowlands some 1500 years ago.
The most common is the Forest Gnome who rarely comes into contact with man. The Garden Gnome lives in old gardens and enjoys telling melancoly tales. Dune Gnomes are slightly larger than their woodland breathren and choose remarkably drab clothing. House Gnomes have the most knowledge of man, often speaking his language. It is from this family that Gnome Kings are chosen. Farm Gnomes resemble their House brethen, but are more conservative in manner and dress. Siberian Gnomes have been more interbred than other Gnomes and associate freely with trolls. They are much larger than the other types and have an infinately more nasty nature. It is best never to evoke the ire of such Gnomes for they delight in revenge.
