Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this for a 7 yr old child, but her Mum decided she was too young for it. I'm not so sure - I think you could read it to 7yr olds and they would enjoy it. Yes, too hard for them to read it to themselves. More like 10 or eleven. But what a story, and a real classic that they should all get to know! Well packed and promptly sent.
Format:Paperback
I read the first three books in the Borrowers serial by Mary Norton, as a child and loved them.
A rather poor Hollywood film spin of some time ago , can't even remember who was in the film.
but it tainted the memory.
However I recently purchased a lovely film called "Arrietty " by the producer Hiromasa Yonebayashi,
The Manga style film and Japan's take on the British and the Borrowers is wonderful.
Arrietty is quite a modern role model in both the film and the book, not a cissy girl by a long way.
The film inspired me at fifty five to revisit the books, really, really lovely every bit as captivating as Harry Potter.
The language and moral lessons are only slightly dated,
not many kid's around would know about hat pins,cotton bobbins,and Blotting paper.
The creatures and Hedgerow Fruits in The Borrowers Afield would leave most modern children at a loss,
Perhaps that's a bit harsh, I still have faith in modern children.
I'm sure there are parents who still take there children out into the country side
The Borrowers still should be riveting to modern children with a love of adventure.
I never knew Mary Norton was responsible for writing Bed nob and broomstick, again this book outstrips the
Film from Disney.
A book I read as a child along the lines of The Borrowers, I have failed to trace was Called, I seem to
remember "The adventures at Marsden Manor" if any one can provide or correct this info I would love to trace this book.
