Location: UK		I was lucky to obtain the original four books in a hardback anthology for a ridiculously cheap price,with fabulous old fashioned woodcut illustrations which enhanced and often elucidated the story. Marvellous stuff.I was also read The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper ,and was disappointed at then rather anticlimactic final two books. So I was relieved that the Borrower books lived up to their reputation! :0) I was very happy when WWEnd added so many junior classic titles to the database. After all,those early fantasy reads probably laid the foundations for all of us loving fantasy,and speculative fiction of all kinds.
It is available very cheaply on Abebooks.com. Check out Mary Norton/Borrowers anthology there,less than $5. The illustrations are miraculous,so in keeping with the story and its time of writing.
