Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for
every child. 'Don't move!' said a voice, and the voice, like the
eye, was enormous but somehow, hushed - and hoarse like a surge of
wind through the grating on a stormy night in March. Arrietty
froze. 'So this is it,' she thought, 'the worst and most terrible
thing of all: I have been "seen"! The Borrowers live in the secret
places of quiet old houses; behind the mantelpiece, inside the
harpsichord, under the kitchen clock. They own nothing, borrow
everything, and never forget their most important rule: you must
never, ever be 'seen' by the human beans. Arrietty is desperate to
be an expert Borrower like her father, Pod. But it's dangerous
work, and girls are forbidden to venture Upstairs. Arrietty is
thrilled to be given a chance to prove herself - but disaster
strikes on her very first outing: she is seen by The Boy! But to
everyone's surprise, a wonderful, unlikely friendship is formed.
But soon the Borrowers find themselves in terrible danger, and only
The Boy can help. Full of wonderfully inventive details and
beautiful, gentle humour, The Borrowers is a timeless tale of
bravery, friendship and borrowing . . . "Beautifully written,
poetic and almost always alarming, the Borrowers have something
very mysterious, sad and exciting about them" - Sunday Times
