Book Reviews of The Borrowers Avenged
Book Review: A Timelessly Appealing Fantasy, Part 5
Summary: 5 Stars
Twenty years after the publication of The Borrowers Aloft Mary Norton surprised and delighted her fans with The Borrowers Avenged. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock, having escaped their captors, have once again fled and are now making a new home for themselves, this time in an old rectory near a beautiful old church in an English village. Most of the characters from the older books, both borrower and "human bean" return in this episode, along with some new and very appealing ones.
Probably because of the long gap between this book and its predecessors, the tone seems somewhat darker and more thoughtful. Elements of religion and the supernatural are introduced for the first time, and for the first time the fact that the story is taking place in the early twentieth century is nailed down for certain. The last chapters seem a bit equivocal and leave the reader with the sense that Norton planned at least one more adventure for the borrowers, but sadly she died before getting it written. Nevertheless these five tales will please their readers, and those who first meet the borrowers as children will find that they are just as appealing when they read the stories again as adults.
Summary of The Borrowers Avenged
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 these handsome new paperback packages. While the original beloved interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush have been retained, Marla Frazee's striking cover illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life appeal.General Books
