December 10th is the birthday of Mary Norton, English author of the children's classic:"The Borrowers" (1952). The borrowers are a race of tiny people (far smaller than fairies) who lives among the humans but invisibly. If the Borrowers are seen, they have to move, but until then they survive on the scraps and reuse of objects, like thimbles for chairs.
Typically the Borrowers live well, unless spotted by cats,who are under no illusions about the reality of these small folk.
