Mary Norton's five beloved bestselling books about the tiny,
stouthearted Borrowers, now available together in a gorgeous box
set that's perfect for gift giving. Put this box set into the hands
of little readers--or of any reader who delights in classic
adventure. Includes paperback editions of The Borrowers, The
Borrowers Afield, The Borrowers Afloat, The Borrowers Aloft, and
The Borrowers Avenged. These editions include the original charming
black-and-white illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush. A enchanting
and enduring children's classic, The Borrowers is the award-winning
tale of three tiny people who are big heroes. The Clock
family--Homily, Pod, and their fourteen-year-old daughter,
Arrietty--are 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 tromp around loudly above them. All is
well until Pod is spotted upstairs by a human boy! Can the Clocks
stay nested safely in their beloved hidden home, or will they be
forced to flee? The four subsequent books are equally charming and
appealing, perfect for independent readers as well as shared
reading with younger children. The Borrowers Afield: Driven from
their home in the big house, Pod, Homily, and Arrietty take up life
in a boot. The Borrowers Afloat: Uprooted once again, the little
people journey down a drain, live briefly in a teakettle, and are
swept away in a flood. "As irresistible as its
predecessors."--Booklist The Borrowers Aloft: Imprisoned in an
attic by a greedy couple who want to use them as performers, the
Borrowers escape by balloon. The Borrowers Avenged: Pod, Homily,
and Arrietty escape from the Platters' attic and set off to an old
rectory to begin life anew.
