Reviews
"The magic and charm of the writing convince children and grown-ups, too, that Borrowers really do exist."-- School Library Journal "A rare and delicious addition to children's literature [that] deserves to take its place on the shelf of undying classics."-- Louisville Courier-Journal "Delectable fantasy."-- Booklist, Anyone who has ever entertained the notion of "little people" living furtively among us will adore this artfully spun classic. The Borrowers--a Carnegie Medal winner, a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award book, and an ALA Distinguished Book--has stolen the hearts of thousands of readers since its 1953 publication. Mary Norton (1903-1993) creates a make-believe world in which tiny people live hidden from humankind beneath the floorboards of a quiet country house in England. Pod, Homily, and daughter Arrietty of the diminutive Clock family outfit their subterranean quarters with the tidbits and trinkets they've "borrowed" from "human beans," employing matchboxes for storage and postage stamps for paintings. Readers will delight in the resourceful way the Borrowers recycle household objects. For example, "Homily had made her a small pair of Turkish bloomers from two glove fingers for 'knocking about in the mornings.'" The persistent pilfering goes undetected until a boy (with a ferret!) comes to live in the country house. Curiosity drives Arrietty to commit the worst mistake a Borrower can make: she allows herself to be seen. This engaging, sometimes hair-raisingly suspenseful adventure is recounted in the kind, eloquent voice of narrator Mrs. May, whose brother might--just might--have seen an actual Borrower in the country house many years ago. (Ages 9 to 12), For 50 years, fans have enjoyed Mary Norton's classic story of The Borrowers, the tiny family (Pod, Homily and their daughter, Arrietty) that secretly lives under the floorboards. This new gift edition features sepia-toned pen-and-inks that Diana Stanley drew for the original 1952 British edition a new foreword by Leonard Marcus explains the book's history, and a ribbon bookmark keeps the place for avid fans., Praise for Mary Norton's The Borrowers: "A book that begs to be shared."-- The Horn Book "The magic and charm of the writing convince children and grown-ups, too, that Borrowers really do exist."-- School Library Journal, Praise for Mary Norton's The Borrowers: "A book that begs to be shared."--The Horn Book "The magic and charm of the writing convince children and grown-ups, too, that Borrowers really do exist."--School Library Journal --
