Reader's note

A 1970 Puffin edition of The Borrowers Afield by Mary Norton. The end of the story of The Borrowers was by no means the end of Pod, Homily, and little Arrietty. They escaped to the fields where their cousins lived, but it was a long and dangerous journey. It was up the azalea bank, through the privet hedge and across the orchard, and they were hiding from humans and being attacked by insects. 'Wicked,' Homily said, 'wicked, that's what they were!' But at last they found a new home and adapted themselves superbly to mid-field conditions. It was harder work in every way than under-floor borrowing, and again Homily has something to say about it. 'Oblige you we'd like to, Pod,' she said, 'but we're not slaves.' But to Arriety the life was enchanting, with all its new adventures.
