I’ve always been very edgy about gartenzwerg, or garden gnomes. Despite all the available written and illustrated records stretching back centuries, the British like to claim the garden gnome as very much their own. Group of safely shrunken gnomes including revolting mooning gnome. There are several liberation squads returning garden gnomes to the wild including the French Front de Liberation des Nains de Jardins. Sometimes gnomes return to their original garden homes — complete with souvenirs from their world tours.
