First published in 1952, The Borrowers is a beloved classic of imaginative children’s literature. Beneath the floorboards of an old English country house lives the tiny Clock family: Pod, Homily, and their curious daughter Arrietty. Like all Borrowers, they survive by “borrowing” small items from the human beings above: a thimble becomes a bucket, a postage stamp becomes art, and a spool becomes a table.

When Arrietty is discovered by a human boy, their quiet, hidden life is thrown into uncertainty. With warmth, gentle suspense, and keen observation, Mary Norton crafts a timeless story about courage, resourcefulness, and the fragile balance between worlds.

A wonderful read-aloud or independent classic for children who love cozy, imaginative tales.
