The World of David the Gnome was an animated television series based on the world-famous children's books The Gnomes and The Secret of the Gnomes, by Dutch authors Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen, this European import was relatively unchanged when it came to the States. The voices were now American (including Tom Bosley, Happy Days' Mr. Cunningham), but the enchanted tales of the Gnome family and their enemies, the Trolls, retained their animation style, which resembled the lush illustrations of the original books.

David, the patriarch of the Gnome clan, was something of a pacifist, since he usually avoided trouble rather than put up a fight. This wasn't an attitude of cowardice, but rather a faith in Gnome and Troll-kind. He was convinced that goodness would eventually prevail, and he was determined to do his part.

David the Gnome is a 1985animated series about the goings on in a community of gnomes.
In the English language version of the show, the title character, a gnomephysician, was voiced by Tom Bosley.
The show is heavily based on the idea of living a moral life in harmony with the world around you, a theme also present in Gnomes and, even more heavily, in the 1987 sequel Wisdom of the Gnomes.
According to Paracelsus, gnomes are the most important of the elemental spirits of the classical element earth, and they move as easily through the earth as humans walk upon it.
Gnomes feature in the legends of many of central, northern and eastern European lands by other names: a kaukis is a Prussian gnome, and barbegazi are gnome-like creatures with big feet in the traditions of France and Switzerland.
Gnomes and Secrets of the Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet are illustrated guidebooks to the fictional creatures, and resulted in the spin-off animated seriesDavid the Gnome.
