The Borrowers by Mary Norton
4.0
I can't recall for sure whether I read this as a child, but I believe that I did because it was just familiar enough. Much better than Bedknob and Broomstick (although the movie of that is still one of my favorites).
There are some parts of this book that were rather impenetrable for Jackson since they references to very dated objects used in English homes in the 1800s or early 1900s; however, that did not diminish his enjoyment of it. There is some captivating about the idea of Borrowers living in your home and using all of those little things that we all misplace. It's just charming enough that you find yourself thinking, "what if it could be true?" or at least, "wouldn't that be cool if it were true?"
Not one of my all-time favorites, but enjoyable.
