The Borrowers Afield by Mary Norton
The second story about the Borrowers, who now set off on a long and dangerous journey. At last they find a new home, and adapt to their new life in the fields. It's harder work than under-floor borrowing, but to Arrietty the life is enchanting and full of new adventures.
Mary Norton was born in 1903 and brought up in a house in Bedfordshire, which was to become the setting for The Borrowers. First published in 1952, The Borrowers was an immediate success, winning the Library Association's Carnegie Medal. There followed four more Borrowers books: The Borrowers Afield (1955), The Borrowers Afloat (1959), The Borrowers Aloft (1961) and The Borrowers Avenged (1982). Poor Stainless was the last Borrowers story that Mary Norton wrote. She died in 1992.
