The Borrowers Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents for the first time the complete, unabridged audio edition of Mary Norton's The Borrowers.

Arrietty's father, Pod, was an expert Borrower. He could scale curtains using a hatpin and bring back a doll's teacup without breaking it. Girls weren't supposed to go borrowing, but as Arrietty was an only child her father broke the rule - and then something happened which changed their lives.

She made friends with the human boy living in the house....
