Description:
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.
The Borrowers Afield:
Driven from their home in the big house, Pod, Homily, and Arrietty take up life in a boot. This story begins decades later, when the human boy’s older sister, Mrs. May, who previously found a diary left behind by Arrietty, is now elderly and living with some of her relatives, including a young girl named Kate.
The Borrowers Afloat:
Uprooted once again, the little people journey down a drain, live briefly in a teakettle, and are swept away in a flood. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock -- the miniature Borrowers -- depend for their livelihood on the "human beans" whose cottage they live in.
The Borrowers Aloft:
Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock's huge adventures have been thrilling children young and old for fifty years--and their appeal is as strong as ever in these handsome new paperback packages.
The Borrowers Avenged:
Pod, Homily, and Arrietty escape from the Platters' attic and set off to an old rectory to begin life anew. "Like her Borrowers, the author is resourceful, inventive, and patient, and her fantasy continues to be totally real and acceptable."
