I loved the Borrowers as a child, I remember getting the books from the children's section of the library. In 1992 the BBC did a TV series starring Sîan Phillips as Mrs Driver, Ian Holm as Pod and Penelope Wilton as Homily.

I didn't know about this book as a child. I would have loved it because I really enjoyed fantasy books.
