Mary Norton, or Kathleen Mary Norton née Pearson (10 December 1903 – 29 August 1992), was an English author of children's books. She is best known for the The Borrowers series of low fantasy novels (1952 to 1982), which is named after its first book and, in turn, the tiny people who live secretly in the midst of contemporary human civilisation.

Norton won the 1952 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising The Borrowers as the year's outstanding children's book by a British subject. For the 70th anniversary of the Medal in 2007 it was named one of the top ten winning works, selected by a panel to compose the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a lovely bonfire!

These two books have little in common with the Disney musical. I was shocked at how much the Disney people tampered with these stories. But then, that was the hallmark of Disney, to hack away at classic Children’s Literature.
The books take place in England. They feature three siblings who encounter a witch of little confidence. There are adventures, humorous and otherwise. Both books are engaging, enjoyable. But. Just to be clear, there is no singing, no dancing, no war, no London Blitz, and definitely no Nazis.

This is one of my favorite books. When I was small I used to read it over and over again. Funny thing is, I never liked Borrowers much. It was surprising how hard it was to find and buy this book. Thanks to Amazon, I added this beautiful, magical, adventure filled title to my daughter's library. By the way, the movie was awful, 'don't judge the book by its movie'.

This is a great classic that all children should read. Mary Norton does a great job keeping the story line moving. But the best part is the suspense. When I have to put the book down its hard to cause you never know what will happen next!! I give it five stars and say it's a must have read for Kindle!!!!! 😊

3.0 out of 5 stars Hardcover not worth the extra cost
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

I bought this as a gift for my twin granddaughters - I can't evaluate the content although from other reviews it is probably quite good. I paid $10 extra to have a hardcopy edition but was very disappointed to find that basically it is a paperback with a hard cover. I thought the paper would be nicer but it is low quality porous and doesn't open well or stay flat. I think I will try to return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter meets Mary Poppins
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
I wore out my copy of this book when I was a child. As an adult, I bought a copy to read aloud to my stepkids, aged 8 and 12, who are Harry Potter lovers. This book has lost none of its charm over time, and I find myself secretly picking it up and reading ahead when the kids aren't around. The author created clever but not annoying children - a rare find, especially in these obnoxious Nickelodean times. The sparsely placed illustrations are just as I remember - creating beautiful images to further fuel the imagination. I was afraid the children would lose interest during our storytimes, but they were drawn into this book from Page 1. We've shared laugh out loud moments throughout, and my husband has taken to creeping into the room to listen during story time.

Read Bed-Knob as a child and never forgot it. Although I love the movie "Bedknob and Broomsticks", which is a family favorite, I've always wanted to share the book with my grandkids. Seemed only natural to get it for my 9 yr old granddaughter's birthday, when I found it on Amazon. We've started reading it, and she's loving what we've read, so far.

Love the books, and it's so nice to have both novels in one! If you loved the Disney film, you'll love the story. It's a simple and fun little tale, and I would recommend it to anyone, whether you've experienced the film or not it's great fun.
