A review by unfetteredfiction
The Borrowers by Mary Norton
4.0
“Kate,” she said after a moment, "stories never really end. They can go on and on and on. It's just that sometimes, at a certain point, one stops telling them.”
- The Borrowers, Mary Norton
A warm hug of a book. A story that indulges in the imaginative and the whimsical. The premise of this story is one that lingers in that special place that childhood memory occupies in our minds. What child doesn’t want tiny people living under their floorboards? Tiny people who use dolls house furniture, who use cotton reels as stools, and use blotting paper as carpets. Most importantly, I want to know how they make a working stove, how they cook their tiny meals and sit and eat their tiny dinners. This story answers some of these questions, and leaves the answers to the others to your imagination, which I love.
All round wholesome and fun vibes from this book. The 1997 is movie is really good too.
