About this book

When Kate loses her crochet hook, Mrs. May suggests that other people living secretly in the house might have borrowed it. Their conversation turns missing household objects into evidence of an unseen presence. This children's fantasy begins with an older woman's story and a child's growing uncertainty about the small things that vanish from everyday life.

About the author

Mary Norton - BDeBooks
Mary Norton

The Borrowers are six inches tall, live under the kitchen floor, and get by on the things households are always losing: pins, stamps, a thimble for a cooking pot. Norton said the idea came from being very short-sighted as a child and spending a great deal of time close to the ground, looking at what was in the hedge.
