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. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock's huge adventures have been thrilling children young and old for fifty years, and their appeal is as strong as ever. While the original beloved interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush have been retained, Marla Frazee's striking cover illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life appeal. - Publisher.
