The Borrowers (Borrowers #1)

Beneath the floorboards of an old country house, tiny treasures make a cozy home—until one little girl dares to venture upstairs.

This is the classic story--read and loved by children all over the world--of Pod, Homily, and their daughter, Arrietty, who live under the kitchen floor in a quiet, half-empty house and get their livelihood by borrowing from the “human beans.”

The miniature household crafts a cozy existence from lost trinkets, outfitting their hidden rooms with matchbox dressers and postage-stamp portraits. Norton follows the cautious father Pod as he scales curtains by their bobbles, dodging the sharp eyes of the cook.

The sprawling country house turns perilous after a visiting boy discovers Arrietty among the primroses, putting the family’s secret world at risk. “Delectable fantasy.”--Booklist
