Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clocks 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 Frazees striking cover illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life appeal. nPod, Homily, and Arrietty escape from the Platters attic and set off to an old rectory to begin life anew. Like her Borrowers, the author is resourceful, inventive, and patient, and her fantasy continues to be totally real and acceptable.--The Horn Book n
