Ann Atkins and her family operated "the world famous Gnome Reserve and Wild Flower Garden" in Devon, England from 1979 until 2020. The gnomes were then relocated from the Reserve to the Merry Harriers Garden Centre, Bideford, North Devon.
During the 1970s-1980s, Ann published the "Gnome News" newsletter. It contained news about the Gnome Reserve, folklore about Gnomes/fairies and quite a few jokes, puns and cartoons about Gnomes.
A prominent member of the Fortean community asked if "Gnome News" could be scanned. The AFU in Sweden helpfully scanned 7 issues.
Ann Atkin has kindly given me permission to upload "Gnome News", which are now at the link below.
