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? Review: Love it - I like kids books. I read these to my son before he went to school. He was forever checking under things in case there were borrowers . I would hope that they put the other books in this series on kindle. By the way he turned 41 this year and when he asked me what I was reading I told him this and he laughed and said classic. Review: Stands the test of time - Some books fail to hold their wonder after seventy years, but The Borrowers is one of those books that proved, at least to me, to be even better now than when I first read it as a child. Mary Norton's Borrowers, little people who live between floors and behind the walls of old houses and survive by "borrowing" what they need to live, gave our family a way to explain away things that suddenly went missing: "Didn't I leave a paper clip here to hold this report together?" "The Borrowers must have made off with it." So I remembered the clever little home furnishings -- postage stamps for wall hangings, thread spools for stools, and so forth. For awhile, as I read this book as a child, every object seemed to summon in me a guess about how the Borrowers might put the thing to good use. And I found myself daydreaming that way as I re-read the book more than forty years later. Illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush added to the magic; if you purchase this book, find one with the illustrations, which add significantly to the book. Most of all, I marvelled at how Norton had crafted a story that retained its viability after all this time. Sure, the creative world she created for the Borrowers was still enthralling, but the plot itself holds up as well: will the Borrowers survive being seen? Who can be trusted, and who can't be trusted to keep their secret? So at its heart, the book is about an essential question: how do we thrive in a way that is meaningful for us when outside forces threaten to tear it apart? All great books wrestle with important questions, with questions that withstand time. "The Borrowers," despite its seemingly simple concept, is one of those books, asking one of those questions, and delivering a wonderful story in answering it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,968 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Open-End Wrenches | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,681 Reviews | ## Images ![The Borrowers: An Enchanting Adventure About Tiny Heroes Living Beneath the Floorboards - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qmHWpc7jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by G***O on October 29, 2025* I like kids books.
