Summary:

When you're only 15cm high the world is a pretty frightening place! Meet Pod, Homily and Arrietty Clock - those tiny people who live under your floorboards. They exist by 'borrowing' everyday items from you that you wouldn't even miss! You will never know they're there unless they're careless and let you see them one day. That's why their lives are filled with danger and great adventures. So the next time you notice a doll's teacup missing or an old cotton reel gone astray, you might like to lift your floorboards and say hello to the Borrowers.
