The Borrowers

Beneath the floorboards, behind the clock, inside the walls — a whole world exists that you have never noticed.

Pod, Homily, and their daughter Arrietty are Borrowers — tiny people who live hidden in an old English house, surviving by "borrowing" the small things humans never miss. When Arrietty is spotted by the boy upstairs, their secret world is suddenly, dangerously at risk. Mary Norton's classic, first published in 1952, remains as vivid and enchanting as ever.

The Borrowers is about the courage it takes to look beyond the edges of your own small world — Arrietty's longing for something bigger, and the cost of reaching for it, gives the story a quietly beating emotional heart.

A timeless classic for readers aged 7 and up — the kind of book that makes you look twice at the dark corner under the skirting board, just in case.
