The series follows the gnomes, a kind species who are 15 centimetres (5.9 in) tall and weigh 250–300 grams (8.8–10.6 oz). There are several types of gnomes: those of the forest, garden, farm, house, dunes, and Siberia, as well as nomadic "gypsy" gnomes, who are generally looked down upon by other gnomes.
Born in Schiedam, Poortvliet was best known for his drawings [2] of animals and for "Gnomes", a famous series of illustrated books with text by Wil Huygen. [3]Poortvliet did not attend art school and his family discouraged him from becoming an artist: `My family thought that artists were, you know, a little bit dangerous, all those naked women, all that drinking all night."
In the second book (De oproep der Kabouters) both Huygen and Poortvliet make appearances themselves in both the story and the illustrations as they get contacted by the gnomes because of the Gnomes book they have written together. The TV show, The World of David the Gnome, was based on their work. Huygen died on 14 January 2009 in Bilthoven.
