Is it Gnome or Nisse? Not a question you might ask on a regular basis, that is…unless you’re Scandinavian. Or you live in Decorah. Or you’re visiting for Nordic Fest. Or you’re really into gnomes and nisse. So maybe you ask that question all the time! Yes? You’re in luck! We’ve put together this handy flowchart to help you figure out just which fairy creature is your tale’s main feature.

That’s funny because, I am Scandinavian and used to live in Decorah many years ago! (Washington State now) The flow chart was a great tool.
