Hi! If you love The Borrowers books by Mary Norton, then you'll love this book! It's a collection of all the Borrowers stories put into one volume. I orded this book from amazon.com and had no trouble getting it, even though it's out of print. So, go ahead and buy it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This review is from: The Complete Adventures of the Borrowers (Paperback)
I used to read The Borrowers as a child (probably at 12 or 13 yrs?) and I really enjoyed them at the time. I just recently bought this set. I was also hoping to introduce them to an 8 year old friend of mine. While they proved too challenging for her, I thoroughly enjoyed rereading them myself. They are very well-written, the characters are rich and realistic (even if they are under a foot tall!), and the stories are exciting. I believe most children ages 11 and up who enjoy reading will appreciate these. The main character, Arriety, is about 13 years old, and she goes through bits of teenaged angst and frustration that we can all relate to. Living under the floor all her life, she longs for adventures in the outdoors, and she eventually gets her wish, even as her mother frets over all dangers. The illustrations are lively and expressive black and white drawings.
There is a new animated movie coming out soon, which looks okay. But I say get these books and read them while you still can and enjoy them before the movie images take over how you picture the characters in your own imagination!
