THE BORROWERS AFLOAT

BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS

When the witch next door falls off her broomstick, it's the start of an amazing adventure for Carey, Charles and Paul. Her spell turns out better than she'd hoped, and gives the children an enchanted bedknob which whisks them off anywhere they want, even back in time.

THE BORROWERS AFIELD

The Pod family escape to the fields where their cousins live, but it's a long and dangerous journey. At last they find a new home and adapt to country life.

THE BORROWERS AVENGED

Pod, Homily and Arrietty have managed to escape with the help of Spiller. They move into the old rectory where they live happily until the Potters come looking for them. After a horrifying encounter in the church, the Potters get their just desserts and the Borrowers can live peacefully once and for all.

THE BORROWERS

The Borrowers own nothing at all; they live in the secret places of quiet old houses. Everything they have is borrowed from the 'human beans', who don't even know they exist. Danger is never far away for, above all else, they must avoid the great disaster of 'being seen'.

THE BREAD AND BUTTER STORIES

These delightful short stories were written in the 1940's and 50's to keep the family solvent, hence the title of the collection!
