Description
Life beneath the kitchen floor is that of the Borrowers, a world of tiny proportions. Pod and Homily Clock's daughter, Arrietty, lives in a home made from matchboxes, with postage stamps hanging like paintings on the walls. The Borrowers' existence is one of comfort, but also of secrecy - for they "borrow" from the humans who live above, risking discovery that would be fatal. Only Pod is allowed to venture into the house above, where danger lurks in every corner. But Arrietty yearns for a friend among the humans, and so she sets out on a perilous journey to find one. A human boy is her target, but will their friendship be possible, or will it prove too great a risk? In this charming tale of tiny proportions, the Borrowers' world is revealed in all its intricate detail.
