'''The book:'''
▲A series of children's fantasy books by Mary Norton (who also wrote ''[[Bedknob and Broomstick]]'').
Arrietty Clock lives with her parents under the floor in the house of a "human bean". They live by "borrowing" from the human beans (it's only "stealing" if you take things from another Borrower), but never anything that might be missed; a Borrower must never be seen by a human bean, or let a human bean in any way know they exist. Unfortunately, Arrietty is a little too curious for her own good, and ends up talking with a human boy. The boy ends up fetching little things that might help the Borrowers, things they couldn't get for themselves.

The first book has also been adapted into an animated movie by [[Studio Ghibli]], titled ''[[The Borrower Arrietty]]'' (released in the US as ''The Secret World of Arrietty''). [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|And there was much rejoicing.]]
