    Wonderful! So glad you found a copy . . . that was one of my favorite series as a kid, too! Enjoy!

    I didn’t hear about the Borrowers until my kids were little – loved those books πŸ™‚

    I guess you found room for some more books????

    I love our library bookstore. I bought a ton of old (donated, paperback) caldecott winners. The money raised goes for buying new books.

    Have fun with the new books.

    Oh, the borrowers! I’d forgotten all about them! I loved them!

    Sharon,
    Since I’m replacing missing books, I figure buying two more would be perfectly fine. πŸ™‚

    So glad to hear there are other Borrower fans out there!

    Caroline–I donated about 900 books to my daughter’s (old) elementary school when I “retired” from teaching. It was a good thing, but now I’m rebuying books too…

    I loved these books and own them all. I also love the illustrations by Joe and Beth Krush. I consider the Borrowers to be “happy books” — books that I read when I wanted something pleasant to read without serious issues.

    Yay!! Look what you found.

    I had forgotten about those books. I’m going to check out our library–my middle girl would love them.

    I was just thinking about the Borrowers the other day when a friend said she’d found her shoe that had been missing for a year. Of course the Borrowers had used it for something useful.

    Ha! I see this is a follow-up to your last post. What a wonderful thing to have so many books in your home for your kids to read. They will always remember that.

    I remember this! There was a movie being planned if I’m not mistaken.

    What a haul! The Borrowers crept into my head as a kid and never left. I find myself suddenly remembering scenes from these stories at odd times—probably because so many common objects trigger an: “oh! remember when the Borrowers used this to…”
