Synopsis "the borrowers"

A enchanting and enduring children's classic, The Borrowers is the award-winning tale of three tiny people who are big heroes. The Clock family--Homily, Pod, and their fourteen-year-old daughter, Arrietty--are tiny people who live underneath the kitchen floor of an English manor. All their minuscule home furnishings, from postage stamp paintings to champagne cork chairs, are "borrowed" from the "human beans" who tromp around loudly above them. All is well until Pod is spotted upstairs by a human boy! Can the Clocks stay nested safely in their beloved hidden home, or will they be forced to flee?

MARY NORTON (1903-1992) lived in England, where she worked as an actress, screenwriter, and award-winning writer. As a child, she created an imaginary world in which tiny beings inhabited the bushes near human homes, unbeknownst to them. It is from this personal fantasy that her most famous books, those about the Borrowers, originate. But before The Borrowers, she wrote two huge stories that enjoyed great popularity: The Magic Bedknob and Bonfires and Broomsticks, which were later combined into this single book.
