Summaries

The Borrowers, a family of tiny people, are forced to find a new home after being displaced. They get help from a human boy as they try to survive by borrowing what they need.

The Borrowers are small, fifteen-centimeter-high humans, who live in the English hinterland. They live out their lives in mouse-hole sized nooks in human houses, and survive by "borrowing" all they need from the house and its inhabitants. This series follows young girl Arriety and her parents Pod and Homily, as they are displaced from their house, and try to find a new one, with the help of a human boy, George.—Tony Lammens <[email protected]>
