Gnomes?

I'm currently reading "The Lays of Beleriand" and in the Tale of the Children of Húrin, it keeps referring to Gnomes. I'm assuming Tolkien doesn't mean those of the garden variety. Also, it uses the phrase "Faërie" all the time, which I'm guessing refers to the Blessed Realm. Can someone please tell me what's going on with these two words? It's driving me up the wall!
