Award-winning author Mary Norton creates, in The Borrowers, a make-believe world in which tiny people live hidden from humankind beneath the floorboards of a quiet country house in England, borrowing the tidbits and trinkets humans have discarded to sustain themselves, while taking careful consideration to remain out of sight . . . 

Anyone who has ever entertained the notion of 'little people' living furtively among us will adore The Borrowers, an artfully spun classic that has stolen the hearts of thousands of readers since its first publication in 1953.
