Other editions of book The Borrowers Afield

This second adventure of Pod, Homily and Arrietty, after the terrible moment when Mrs Driver wrenched back the floorboard, provides an answer to the question which every reader on finishing The Borrowers will be asking. Where did they go to?Of course it was Old Tom Goodenough who found out. Not sufficient to say they escaped Mrs May s young brother knew that and so did Kate. How did the little family survive in that world even bigger outside than it appeared to them from Pod s estimate? What dangers of field and hedgerow faced them? The countryman s eyes of Old Tom didn t miss a thing, and to him we owe the fascinating account of The Borrowers Afield, and a chance to share again in their urgent life, their struggles and their joys in open-air days of rain and shine, spent on river and hillside and in the shelter of an old boot!

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.
