This was just okay for us. Jane and Isaac seemed interested at first, so we kept reading. I didn't like it that much from the start. The writing is a bit old-fashioned and there just wasn't much of a plot.
About 110 pages in my kids were bored of it and asked to switch books. I decided to finish it on my own. A few interesting things happened, but I have no desire to read the rest of the series. I think we might watch the movie though, perhaps that will be more entertaining.

Charming! This story is charming and a lot of fun too. Little people living in a big English house. Sadly they are discovered. I enjoy how the story is told. Two woman are knitting a quilt together and the older begins to tell a tale that her brother told her. The brother was part of the story. This is the beginning and the end. Mary only gives us a hint of what really happened at the end. It makes for a sly story. This book brought me much joy. I will be reading more of this series.
The story is from the 50s and I think it can still be enjoyed by everyone today. It is timeless.

The Borrowers (The Borrowers, #1) by Mary Norton – This is such a cute series! I think my third grade teacher read this one to us! Happy Reading!
I absolutely loved this book as a young girl and am looking forward to reading it to my son when he is a little older.
Fast forward, my son is six now. We've been reading The Borrowers as a bedtime story. It is just as wonderful as I remember and I'm so pleased he's enjoying it.

As charming to read now as I remember from my childhood!
