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?
