A beautiful hardback gift edition of Mary Norton's classic children's story, THE BORROWERS, including the original artwork by Diana Stanley.
Deep beneath the floorboards lives the tiny Borrower family - Pod, Homily and Arrietty Clock. Everything they have is borrowed from the humans above them; even their names are not quite their own. There is just one rule: they must never be seen. Then one day Arrietty meets the boy from above, and the family's incredible adventure begins.
Originally published in 1952 when it won the Carnegie Medal, The Borrowers is a stunning tale of growing up, family relationships, and making the most unexpected friends. It's the perfect gift for readers of all generations.
