Marcus Mennes

The gnomes are coming! The gnomes are coming! Once mere symbols of luck and goodwill, these serene bearded men with pointed hats have become a bizarre cultural phenomenon that has spread throughout the world. Gnome abductions and the formation of gnomes' rights groups are but two manifestations of gnome-mania. Now, Marcus Mennes takes the trend one step further by bringing gnomes' kitschy image from the garden to the desktop, countertop, tabletop and everywhere in between.
Along with a traditionally designed garden gnome and a miniature lawn setting, this shrink-wrapped kit includes The Garden Gnome Book, which celebrates the history, symbolism and lore of these whimsical creatures. This great office-warming gift will appeal to gnome aficionados as well as those who appreciate good, solid kitsch.
