I previously read Mary Norton's [b: Bedknob and Broomstick|474211|Bedknob and Broomstick|Mary Norton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1444430049l/474211._SY75_.jpg|828772], which I enjoyed reading, and wanted to read her other classic The Borrowers.

The Borrowers are a small family that are probably the size of your thumb or a bit taller than that. They keep to themselves, and most of all, they don't want to be seen.

It was a fairly enjoyable short read but not as magical as her other book.

I love Miyazaki decided to give the cat a redemption arc in the movie. Because cats are never the enemy. Cats are friends of the human being, of ANY living beings😤
