Perfect for age six and up but not for five year olds.
My mom and I loved it! Good role models and awsome story. It was really exciting and has a little twist.

Amazing Book!
This is a great book! I loved it. The tiny borrowers go on an amazing journey in the human world. It might have some bigger vocabulary words for some of the younger children, because after all it was published in 1952. If you liked the book you should see Disney's new movie "The Secret World of Arriety" which roughly goes along with the book. They have also have made a few other movies which were not cartoons/animated in the past.

Lovely old-fashioned story still has traction in 21st century
I thought the old fashioned language might be a turn-off for my daughter but she really loves the concept of tiny people hidden within a house, and is willing to perservere with some of the old, particularly English vocabulary. It's been good from a historical perspective too, explaining household life in Edwardian England and some of the issues around class etc.
