kindle ☆ The Borrowers â Mary Norton
Paintings Whatever the Clocks need they simply borrow from the human beans who live above them It's a comfortable life but boring if you're a kid Only Pod is allowed to venture into the house above be The Borrowers originally written in the 1950's was the basis for the 2010 Studio Ghibli film The Secret World of Arrietty While by first appearances it's just a simple little fairy tale The Borrowers offers a whimsical often unexpected perspective and a fascinating look at everyday objects through the eyes of the book's tiny inhabitants not to mention it's a great story of a friendship between two seemingly very different charactersThis book follows a small family of tiny people mostly Arrietty who has nobody else her age around to play with and as such she is often bored It's also considered dangerous for her kind to interact with human beans although many of Arrietty's belongings come from borrowing or rather stealing small objects from humans that nobody would typically miss Arrietty befriends a human boy about her age and through their conversations they find that in spite of their differences they have a lot in common after allNorton's writing style is a lot of fun with some wit and humour thrown in here and there that even adult readers can appreciate It's also timeless with themes and ideas that still haven't gone out of style and the differing perceptions of small ordinary objects made an interesting subject to consider I really liked The Borrowers especially the scenery and dialogue

The BorrowersBeneath the kitchen floor is the world of the Borrowers Pod and Homily Clock and their daughter Arrietty In their tiny home matchboxes double as roomy dressers and postage stamps hang on the walls like I have noticed that most people who borrow books do it in the same way the borrowers do it to keep them indefinitely That is how I lost my cherished copy of this classic My sense of ownership lost a battle with my sense of missionary reading promotion And here we are The Borrowers are forever lost to me at least in a visual tangible sense I can of course still see them in my mind endlessly panicking about me a human bean no less having discovered their secretLovely story full of beans human and otherwise
