Because Cornie Fizzlesprocket is AMAZING, but the series she is a part of wasn't written til 2018 (Everybody Loves Large Chests by Neven Iliev). Bandit Keynes is another truly awesome gnomish character. But her story wasn't written til 2016 (Gilded Age by T Campbell & Flo Kahn) Artemis Fowl features gnomes. Still too early to be "classic" At least I can give you the Nome King, because despite the fact I was introduced to the Nomes of Oz in the series Wearing the Cape, the original Oz books were written in the early 1900's. Dark Profit Saga by J. Zachary Pike? Too early. Can't count that. Gnomesaga by Kenny Soward? 2014 doesn't count. Teresa Edgerton's Goblin Moon and Gnome Engine? Those were 1991, are those "classical" enough? Probably notSee, this is the problem. It is trivial to find gnome characters. I haven't even touched World of Warcraft's gnomes at all, and that is what? 8 series I just named that feature gnomes? But it is all after 1990, so it doesn't count. After all, people can write all the fantasy fiction they want about gnomes, but since they didn't do it in the 80's, it doesn't matter.</blockquote>
