Product Description

Product Description

Five classic stories about the race of tiny people. The Borrowers own nothing at all; everything they have is borrowed from the "human beans", who don't even know they exist. That is, until Arrietty Clock makes friends with one. And from that moment danger is never far away.

5.0 out of 5 stars The borrowers: Complete borrowers, 20 Feb 2004
This review is from: The Borrowers: Complete Borrowers (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
have you read any of the borrower stories and enjoyed them? If so you should read this and if you haven't you should read this - don't miss out on reading the original six borrower stories - all in one volume. Brilliant!
You could also see the film.

The borrowers own nothing at all - they borrow everything from humans, the humans don't even know they exist.
Arrietty makes friends with one - danger is always close and they have to go by the borrowers code " You must never be seen my a human bean"

this is a brilliant book that has been enjoyed by generations of readers - now it is your turn to do so to.

I hope I've helped and I hope you enjoy reading this

5.0 out of 5 stars Borrowers through the ages, 1 Feb 2009
By Mr. E. Bothamley "Eric from Norfolk" (England, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Borrowers: "The Borrowers"; "The Borrowers Afield"; "The Borrowers Afloat"; "The Borrowers Aloft"; "The Borrowers Avenged"; "Poor Stainless" (Paperback)
As a child in the 40s I listened to the radio adaptations of "The Borrowers" on Children's Hour. I had almost as much pleasure again reading them to my daughter when she was in the Junior School, (UK age 7+ to 10+). I have now bought the set to read to my grandchildren. The "Borrowers" are mouse sized people, who live under the floor boards and in the hollow walls of English Houses. They steal, or rather borrow, scraps of food and artifacts that humans carelessly leave about the house to support their lifestyles. All children can empathise with these gentle adventures of miniture sized people who both use and fear real grown-ups!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Borrowers-in one big volume!, 9 Jan 2009
By S. Väpnargård "Auburn Raven" (Skåne Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Borrowers: "The Borrowers"; "The Borrowers Afield"; "The Borrowers Afloat"; "The Borrowers Aloft"; "The Borrowers Avenged"; "Poor Stainless" (Paperback)
All six stories about our beloved Borrowers in one big volume - nearly too good to be true! And as far as the quality of the printed paper and soft covers goes, it IS!
My copy ripped att the back when I , because of the weight (!) dropped it on my chest while reading in bed! Lucky maybe, it wasn't a hardcover, or I might have hurt myself! ; }
The added bonus of (very) short story Poor Stainless is a perfect ending to the lovely series that I for one, would have wished had consisted of many more volumes!
But- alas- as with all well written stories, one can imagine and make up ones own endings...in my fantasy Arrietty and Spiller lived happily ever after with an abundance of little borrower children that got up to all sorts of exiting shenanigans!
And Hemmely and Pod lived on to a ripe old age...maybe even moved back in to the safety of Little Fordham and started growing small vegetables...
Oh, how easily one gets carried away- this is a sweet compilation, even though the paper involved is a bit on the cheap and tatty side!
I reccomend a buy anyway!
