    About this ebook

    Mr. Gnome is a grumpy little fellow. He's really quite rude and he is definitely NOT cute. So when Miss Witch asks him to kindly stop fishing in her pond, Mr. Gnome is in danger of finding out exactly what happens to gnomes who say "NO!" From author illustrator Fred Blunt comes this laugh-out-loud cautionary tale, told in a wonderfully conversational style.

    Fred Blunt

    Humour has always been top of Fred Blunt’s list when it comes to drawing. Right from those early (rather unflattering) portraits of teachers, he knew he wanted to entertain with his work. Now writing and illustrating his own, very silly picture books – Fred couldn’t be happier. He lives in Wiltshire, with his wife, two children and their retired Greyhound, Olive.
