Book Presentation:
Have you ever been terrified by a scary horror film? Laughed yourself silly at an amusing romantic comedy? Now imagine those familiar scenes starring everyone's favourite garden sprite -- a gnome! Packed with famous cinematic scenes recreated by garden gnomes, this book is guaranteed to raise a smile from anyone who picks it up. 'Gnomes of the Silver Screen' is an amusing gift book for film buffs and gnome-lovers alike. Take a tour through cinema's hall of fame, starting with classic films, with stars like Charlie Chaplin and coming right up to date with modern film favourites such as 'Silence of the Lambs', 'Alien', 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Kill Bill' -- all performed by gnomes, of course! This book contains specially commissioned photography of these gnomes gently poking fun at some of cinema's most well-known scenes.
