The World of David the Gnome was based on the world famous children's books The Gnomes and The Secret of the Gnomes by Dutch authors Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen.

David the Gnome, and his wife Lisa, were peace loving Gnomes who lived in a tree. They probably reminded more than a few children of their grandparents.

I know this is said, but I even had the book of the Gnomes collection book thingies. Each week you collect a new Gnome and the books made a picture when you put the all together. I thought it rocked!

This show is the best cartoon they ever ran on Nickelodeon! I remember so well, my aunt even has episodes recorded on VHS tapes. I wish there was some way to get this show either back on air or for a DVD box set to be made! This is a great show for kids and the parents who have to watch cartoons daily! =)

I remember watching this back in the 80's, along with the adventures of little koala and maya the bee. I miss those times.
