《借东西的小人在高处》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 in these handsome new paperback packages. 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.退休的老珀特先生童心灿烂，闲来无事在家里建起了一个微型村庄。波德一家人迁居来到这里，过起了安逸生活。好心的孟奇思小姐看到了他们，并和阿瑞埃蒂成为好朋友，时常暗中帮助他们。但好景不长，一天，他们被一对贪婪的夫妇抓到自己家的阁楼上，准备到春天就把他们关到玻璃笼子里招徕游客。波德一家人再次陷入绝境。他们在阁楼上度过了漫长的被囚禁的冬天，终于在春天到来前想到了逃走的办法，他们学着报纸上人类制作热气球的技术，制作了一个逃生的气球，再次回到了野外。
