New Releases by Mary Norton

Die Borger sind in ihrer Art kaum von Menschen zu unterscheiden, aber winzig klein und alles, was sie besitzen, ist geborgt – sogar ihre Namen. Seit Pod, Homily und Arrietty ihr Zuhause unter den Dielen eines viktorianischen Landhauses verlassen mussten, sind sie auf der Flucht. Doch kaum haben sie Unterschlupf bei ihren Verwandten im Forsthaus gefunden, da bahnt sich auch schon die nächste Katastrophe an: Arriettys Freund Tom und dessen Großvater, die einzigen menschlichen Bewohner des Forsthauses, ziehen fort. Von wem sollen die Borger aber in Zukunft etwas borgen, wenn es keine Menschen mehr gibt? Pod, Homily und Arrietty bleibt keine Wahl: Sie müssen sich eine neue Bleibe suchen. Und die finden sie in einem alten, am Flussufer gestrandeten Wasserkessel. Schön gemütlich, vor allem, als ein Unwetter aufzieht. Dass der Fluss vor lauter Regen über das Ufer tritt und den Wasserkessel wegspült – damit hat ja nun wirklich niemand gerechnet. Und so beginnt für die kleinen Borger eine neue, gefährliche Fahrt ins Ungewisse... Das dritte Abenteuer der kleinen Borger – mit märchenhaft schönen Illustrationen von Emilia Dziubak Ein Meisterwerk voller Poesie und Atmosphäre – ausgezeichnet mit dem Lewis-Carroll-Shelf-Award

Sotto il pavimento di una vecchia villa vivono gli sgraffignoli, esseri non più alti di un mignolo che passano la loro vita sgraffignolando o, come dicono loro, prendendo in prestito gli oggetti e il cibo necessari all''esistenza quotidiana. un tappo di champagne per loro è uno sgabello, un francobollo un quadro d''autore e un pezzo degli scacchi una statua a grandezza naturale. non sono banali folletti, ma piccolissimi uomini e piccolissime donne terribilmente veri: un padre, una madre e una figlia adolescente, arietta, smaniosa di uscire dal soffocante appartamento costruito sotto il pavimento. quando però arietta viene vista da un bambino in vacanza alla villa, si scatena il panico in tutta la famiglia: perché per gli sgraffignoli essere visti significa la fine. Un capolavoro della letteratura per ragazzi, un classico conosciuto in tutto il mondo. Con una postfazione di Beatrice Solinas Donghi.

The Magic Bed-Knob and Bonfires and Broomsticks in one volume. The classic exploits of the three Wilson children, the apprentice witch, and the flying bed. Prim, quiet, elegant Miss Price is a witch! Well, not quite, not yet. A witch-in-training, Miss Price hasn''t got the hang of flying on broomsticks nor has she learned how to be properly wicked. And as for her spells—well . . . practice makes perfect. But she can''t practice if the three Wilson children—Charles, Carey, and Paul—reveal her secret. In return for their silence, she enchants a brass bed-knob so that when the children twist the knob and wish, the bed will take them anywhere they want. But traveling by bed is a clumsy sort of magic. What the children want is adventure. What they get is trouble . . . trouble of the most breathtaking, fantastic, unforgettable kind. "Full of danger, surprise, and glinting humor." — The New York Times "Mary Norton has an infallible instinct for blending imagination and humor, everyday characters and odd ones, the real and the fantastic in just the right proportions." — Chicago Tribune "Has humor and originality in its inventions, conversations, and unexpected twists of plot . . . Convincing." — The Horn Book "Miss Price and the children (especially the matter-of-fact Paul) are charming enough to bewitch . . . without the aid of magic." — Christian Science Monitor

Remembering Charlotte: Postcards from a New South City, 1905-1950

The Borrowers, a family of tiny people, are kidnapped from their home in Little Fordham and held captive in an attic.

Escaping from an attic where they had been held captive over the long, dark winter, a family of tiny people sets up house in an old rectory.

Bruikleners zijn heel kleine mensjes, die leven van restjes en dingetjes die ze bij de grote mensen "lenen". Zij wonen ongemerkt onder de vloer van een oud huis. Dat gaat heel goed totdat ze worden ontdekt.

The borrowers escape capture and find themselves in a dangerous field.

Miniature people live in an old country house and provide for themselves by "borrowing" things from the humans until they are forced to emigrate from their home under the clock.
