description: Underneath the kitchen floor is the world of the Borrowers - Pod and Homily Clock and their daughter, Arrietty. Matchboxes double as roomy dressers and postage stamps hang on the walls like paintings. Whatever the Clocks need in their tiny home, they simply "borrow" from the human "beans" who live above them. Only Pod is allowed to venture into the house above, because the danger of being seen by a human is too great. . . . Yet Arrietty won't listen.
