Summary
The complete collection of the classic Borrowers stories by Mary Norton.
The Borrowers live in the secret places of quiet old houses - behind the mantelpiece, inside the harpsichord, under the kitchen clock. Everything they have is borrowed from the ‘human beans’, who don’t even know they exist. But then young Arrietty makes friends with a boy - a ‘human bean’ - and from that moment danger is never far away for, above all else, they must avoid the great disaster of ‘being seen’.
