The Borrowers

The Borrowers introduces a five-book series about the Clocks, a tiny family that resides beneath the floorboards of an English country manor. Their family nickname reflects the fact that they “borrow” items from the humans above. For example, they use postage stamps as wall art. The plot of the first book: A human boy has spotted a Clock boy! Will the little family stay safe or be forced to flee?
