Book Reviews of The Borrowers Afield
Book Review: A Timelessly Appealing Fantasy, Part 2
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Mary Norton's second book in The Borrowers series. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock have been forced to flee from their home under the kitchen in Firbank Hall and have taken refuge in the countryside while they search for their relatives who have gone on before them. Mary Norton continues to write beautifully, this time about the English countryside. The borrowers have to struggle to survive, and adapt themselves to their new surroundings in their own clever and ingenious manner. New characters, both borrower and "human bean" appear. At the end the story appears to be resolved, but with questions that will ultimately and happily lead to a third story.
Its a pity that Norton fouond it necessary to "frame" her story with accounts of modern human beans and how they learned about the borrowers, but those segments pass quickly and do not intrude too much on the main story.
