Description
Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock's huge adventures have been thrilling children young and old for fifty years—and their appeal is as strong as ever in The Borrowers Aloft. The original beloved interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush have been retained, capturing these little people with a larger-than-life appeal..

This story comes with the bonus story “Poor Stainless.” The borrowers have a cosy new home that is just their size and intended for them, but just as they’re settling in, someone captures them. They are trapped in an attic until Arriety discovers plans for hot air balloons, and they are able to make an escape.
