Books with author Mary Beth Norton

Deep beneath the floorboards lives the tiny Borrower family - Pod, Homily and Arrietty Clock. Everything they have is borrowed from the humans above them, even their names are not quite their own. There is just one rule: they must never be seen. Then one day Arrietty meets the boy, and the family's incredible adventure begins. A great value hardback edition of the first two classic BORRWERS books to tie in with this year's BBC 90-minute family Christmas special.

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.Mary Norton, award-winning author of THE BORROWERS, weaves her magic in these two stories, THE MAGIC BEDKNOB and BONFIRES AND BROOMSTICKS.

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.
