Complete Borrowers Adventure Box Set for Young Readers

Mary Norton’s five beloved bestselling books about the tiny, stouthearted Borrowers are now available together in a beautiful box set, making it the perfect gift. This collection includes paperback editions of The Borrowers, The Borrowers Afield, The Borrowers Afloat, The Borrowers Aloft, and The Borrowers Avenged. Each book features the original black-and-white illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush.

The Borrowers is an enchanting and enduring children's classic, filled with adventure. It tells the award-winning story of the Clock family, who are tiny people living beneath the kitchen floor of an English manor. They "borrow" various items from the humans who live above them, using them to furnish their minuscule home. However, their peaceful existence is threatened when Pod, one of their family members, is seen by a human boy. Will the Clocks be able to remain hidden in their beloved home, or will they be forced to flee?

The following four books in the series are equally delightful and captivating, making them suitable for independent readers or for shared reading with younger children.

In The Borrowers Afield, the Clock family is driven out of their home in the big house and find themselves living in a boot.

In The Borrowers Afloat, they are uprooted once again and embark on a journey down a drain. They briefly reside in a teakettle before being swept away in a flood. This book has been praised as "irresistible" by Booklist.

In The Borrowers Aloft, the tiny people are imprisoned in an attic by a greedy couple who want to use them for their own entertainment. But the Borrowers manage to escape by using a balloon.

In The Borrowers Avenged, the Clock family escapes from the Platters' attic and begins a new life in an old rectory.

Whether you are introducing these books to young readers or revisiting them yourself, this box set is a wonderful way to experience the magical world of the Borrowers.
