  • The Borrowers a Culture of Life Studies Book Review
    TEACHING THE CULTURE OF LIFE: The Borrowers A Culture of Life Studies book review ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mary Norton is the British author of The Borrowers series as well as the two-book series Bedknobs and Broomsticks which became a classic The Borrowers Disney film in 1971. Readers who enjoyed The Borrowers may also by Mary Norton (1952) enjoy other books in the same series: The Borrowers Afield, The GENRE: Children’s Classics, Borrowers Afloat, The Borrowers Aloft , and The Borrowers Avenged , Fantasy all of which deal with similar themes. LENGTH: 180 pages Recommended for ages 8 –12 STORY SUMMARY The Borrowers—Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock—are small persons who live under the kitchen in an old house. In order to survive, they “borrow” food and small objects from around the house. Their greatest fear is being seen by a “human bean” because then they would have to emigrate (or leave) to protect themselves. Arrietty, the smallest Borrower, longs to go outside and see the world. When her father takes her borrowing for the first time, she is spotted by a human bean, a boy living in the house, but instead of being frightened, she makes a friend. This friendship, however, leads to trouble and possible danger from the other humans in the house. The boy begins “borrowing” many things from the doll’s house and giving them to the Borrowers through a loose plank in the kitchen. One night, Mrs. Driver, the housekeeper, discovers the Borrowers through the floor and sends for the rat-catcher to get rid of them.

Fantasy doesn’t sell. Teenagers won’t buy books with pictures. This is what illustrator Chris Riddell and writer Paul Stewart were told in the 1990s. A million copies of the Edge chronicles later, they tell Ruth Prickett that their success rests on attention to detail – from architecture and economics to fashion and cartography In the beginning was a map. There aren’t many authors who would admit that their hugely successful series started with an illustration. But then there aren’t many partnerships that work like that of Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart, co-crea- tors of the phenomenally popular fantasy series the Edge chronicles. The story goes that in the mid-1990s Chris Rid- The dell, already a well-known children’s illustrator and newspaper cartoonist, came up with a map of the sur- real Edge world. He and Paul Stewart used this as the basis for their first collaboration, Beyond the Deep- woods. They showed it first to his publisher who was entertained, but dismissed it, telling them: “There’s no future in fantasy”. Stewart’s publisher, however, was more confident, and the Edge legends were born in 1998, the same year the second Harry Potter book was published, but before Harry Potter mania had every publisher reaching for his chequebook.

  • BEFORE YOU START Prepare a Group Journal to Help You Record Group Discussions and Responses to the Text As You Work Through the Book
    BEFORE YOU START Prepare a group journal to help you record group discussions and responses to the text as you work through the book. These notes refer to the edition illustrated by Chris Riddell but can also be used with Dave McKean’s original illustrations, with some minor adjustments. You could create a glossary of new vocabulary as you read the book – you may want to prepare a format for doing this. As you go through the book, ask the group to pick out words they are unfamiliar with or do not fully understand, such as velvet, muzzle, vermin, raggedy, embroidery, vivid, monstrous, anteroom, shovelled, commercials and rummaged. You could prepare photographs and video sources to bring these words to life and help the pupils use them in context. © Bloomsbury SESSION 1: CHAPTER 1 Focus: Predicting, Close Reading, Thinking Aloud and Summarising Share the front cover with the group. (Do not share the back cover at this point as it reveals some aspects of the plot you may wish to hold back while the children make predictions.) Ask the children to predict what the story could be about. Ask them to justify their responses, drawing out any connections they make to other stories. Record the children’s responses in the journal. Once you have recorded their predictions you can return to these as you read the book, comparing the children’s initial thoughts to how the story actually unfolds. –––––– © Bloomsbury Encourage the children to look in detail at the cover illustration and make connections between this text and other stories they know.
