Fairy-tale, marvelous stories about the tiny people called Borrowers, who live right beside us and quietly "borrow" various things. One day, little Arrietty breaks the rule — no contact with humans! — and now the Clock family of Borrowers is urgently looking for a new dwelling. Their swift flight from their old, comfortable home is difficult: indeed, will the Borrowers be able to live in the great outdoors, for instance, in a badger hole or… in an old shoe?
