Story Time: The Borrowers: 2: Arrietty goes Borrowing

on BBC Home Service Basic

by Mary Norton, arranged as a dramatised reading in four parts by Bertha Lonsdale.
'The Borrowers' - Pod, his wife Homily, and their daughter Arrietty - are living happily in their home under the kitchen floor of Great Aunt Sophy's house until the day when Pod is 'seen' by an unknown boy during a borrowing expedition into the house upstairs. It is the first time for years that this has happened, and Pod and Homily decide it is time to warn Arrietty of the terrible dangers of being 'seen' by humans.
