Summary
Trapped and alone, a tiny Bill Stirling must rely on the help of a scruffy fellow Borrower named Jock McDiarmid to find his way back to where he belongs.
“Are you ready?”
Bill steps through into a world that he’s never seen before.
For a few dozen yards, wild grass sways in a mid-afternoon breeze. Bill can see flowers—daisies, buttercups, and others he can’t name—amongst the blades. Beyond the grass, enormous trees stretch into the sky. He has to crane his neck to see their tops, which seem like they’re touching the very clouds. Beneath, the woods are cool and dark, thick foliage blanketing the ground in shadow with occasional dapples of sunlight.
In wonderment, Bill turns to Jock, who is smiling, somewhat proudly.
“Beautiful, yes?”
“Beautiful,” Bill breathes.
