NORTON, Mary - Die Leners in die Lug - (Hardeband in Stofomslag)

Het voorheen aan 'n biblioteek behoort maar boek en omslag nog baie mooi - The Borrowers Aloft wat in Afrikaans vertaal is - 1969 - Het lynillustrasies by.   >>>   Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock -- the family of tiny Borrowers -- think they have at last found an ideal home. They've moved into a house in a miniature village built as a hobby by a retired railroad man. The village is the perfect size for the Borrowers, and after the hardships they've faced, the Clocks gratefully settle into the luxury of having a "proper" house. The easy life makes them careless.    -   Or, rather, it makes Arrietty careless.  She befriends a "human bean," and the next thing Arrietty knows, she and her family have been kidnapped.  Their captors are a greedy married couple, called the Platters, who have big plans for the little people.  They have created their own miniature village in a glass case and plan to imprison the Borrowers within -- like animals in a zoo -- for the rest of their lives.     (Goodreads)
