Maybe I haven't had enough sleep yet. I don't understand this one. |

<later, after links were posted> Ah. Thank you. Looks like something my daughter would like. |

With print that small, neelandan, I would hope that you'd move those mini-tomes to a better lighted spot. We don't want those Borrowers to sue you for malicious eye-strain. |

po: They have to start reading! This is an effort to make reading stuff available. |

jurist: Borowers do not read those books on the spot. They borrow them, and will read them at leisure. And Mary Norton, not Swift. |
