Mary Norton, or Kathleen Mary Norton née Pearson (10 December 1903 – 29 August 1992), was an English author of children's books. She is best known for the The Borrowers series of low fantasy novels (1952 to 1982), which is named after its first book and, in turn, the tiny people who live secretly in the midst of contemporary human civilisation.

Norton won the 1952 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising The Borrowers as the year's outstanding children's book by a British subject. For the 70th anniversary of the Medal in 2007 it was named one of the top ten winning works, selected by a panel to compose the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite.

Enjoyed reading the Borrowers when I was a young girl. What a pleasure it was to go back and enjoy them again, even though Im much older now, it was still fun to read. I ended up buying all three books and enjoyed every moment of them! I would recomend these books to young children, and adults as well. Now I know where the things I can't find end up going! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Satisfying Conclusion
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
Fans of the Borrowers will enjoy this concluding volume of the series. Our favorite characters find a new home where they can all live with joy and a modicum of safety; Arietty has the freedom of the wild outdoors as well. The dastardly Platters create their own downfall with a little help both from Borrowers and "human beans."

The last of the series and just as good as the others. I highly recommend this as bedtime reading for your littlins... Maybe no younger than 5 or 6 years old though.

前１〜４巻と比べて、緊張感を欠く雰囲気。
