Borrowers, The ;

After their narrow escape from the Platters' attic- chronicled in "The Borrowers Aloft" -the Borrowers return to their village, only to find that their secrecy and safety are forever gone. They must move on. Once again they venture abroad, accompanied by their friend Spiller. In the vestry of a village church their relatives the Hendreary's turn up. Arrietty meets a new Borrower, Peagreen, in the partially abandoned old rectory, and there the family decides to reestablish its household under a window seat. It seems that the Clocks have found safety at last. Meanwhile, the villainous Platters are enraged that their captives have escaped and are determined to regain the tiny family. Once more, Borrower courage and ingenuity save the day-and this time the Borrowers are avenged.
