“世上每種文化，都提到過小人族的故事”，傳說、神話、童話……不計其數(shù)的人曾經(jīng)幻想在山林里、草叢中、罐頭盒里或是地板下，找到自己的袖珍同類。英國作家瑪麗·諾頓（1903-1992）以五冊幻想小說《借東西的小人》系列，在英美家喻戶曉；這是一部榮獲卡內(nèi)基兒童文學獎與路易斯·卡羅爾書籍獎的童話名作，它用精彩的故事講述了友情、生存、自由等永恒的話題。
十六歲的“借物一族”少女阿麗埃蒂和爸爸媽媽一起住在一座大房子的地板下面，爸爸波德每天九死一生地向房子里的“大人”“借東西”維持生計，小阿麗埃蒂卻從未被允許踏出家門，直到一個圣誕節(jié)她碰巧認識了房子里的小男孩，幾乎給一家人招來滅頂之災，卻也為她展開了光怪陸離的奇妙之旅……（來源：豆瓣）
