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

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

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.

thrilling children young and old for fifty years--and their appeal
is as strong as ever in these handsome new paperback packages.

Krush have been retained, Marla Frazee's striking cover
illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life
appeal.

presents new Dodecaphonic Tonal sets and leads readers through
Expanded Diatonicism, Nonaphonic and Decaphonic Bi-modality,
culminating with "The World's Best Dodecaphonic Tonal Set." He
illustrates Semi-Modulation through Rotating Quintcircles. Relative
Compatibility of Keys and Chromatic Clashes of Tones are also
explored. Composers will benefit from this groundbreaking new
system. Krush addresses the question: "What kind of a tonal system
would result if the major and minor modes were combined into one,
fused major/minor key?" His ultimate answer is: "Uni-tonal
Nonaphonic Bi-Modality." Covering topics including Nonaphonic,
Tri-Tonal, Bi-Modal Systems, Hendecaphonic and Dodecaphonic
Systems, and Dodecaphonic Tonality and Functionality, the book is
divided into two parts and spans 25 chapters.

sorts, between people from very different worlds, pitted against
