Posted by jnelson Anyone who has ever entertained the notion of "little people" living furtively among us will adore this artfully spun classic. The Borrowers, a Carnegie Medal winner, a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award book, and an ALA Distinguished Book--have stolen the hearts of thousands of readers since its 1953 publication. Mary Norton (1903-1993) creates a make-believe world in which tiny people live hidden from humankind beneath the floorboards of a quiet country house in England. Readers will delight in the resourceful way the Borrowers recycle household objects. These engaging, sometimes hair-raisingly suspenseful adventures are recounted in the kind, eloquent voice of narrator Mrs. May, whose brother might--just might--have seen an actual Borrower in the country house many years ago. (Ages 9 to12)
