The Borrowers

I was wondering through the bookstore the other day when I happened to notice a display table showing a mishmash of children's books.
The usual suspects were there: Harry Potter, Alice from Wonderland, Percy Jackson, a few of the Lemony Snickett books. There was also a copy of Mary Norton's The Borrowers.
I loved The Borrowers. When I was younger I read all the stories, checking them out from the town library.
No one ever talks about the book any longer. The last time I heard it mentioned, people were referring to it as the source material for the horrible 1992 movie adaptation.
But seeing it there, on the display table, it just brought back a wave of nostalgia, of happy times spent curled up in bed with a good book, lost in the adventures of the Clock family.
Good times.
Still alive and feeling nostalgic. - G.
