The Borrowers
Mary Norton
The Borrowers is an enchanting children's classic about the Clock family—Homily, Pod, and their fourteen-year-old daughter, Arrietty—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 live above them. Their comfortable hidden life is put in jeopardy when Pod is spotted upstairs by a human boy, and they must determine if they can safely remain in their home or if they will be forced to flee.
