	sdenney said: I was delighted to find out that the illustrators of this book, Beth and Joe Krush, were close family friends of a dear friend. Beth Krush died recently and should be remembered for her delightful work. Although I loved every word of this book, the illustrations also stayed with me throughout my life. Arrietty Clock is one of the best heroines in children's literature. She combines a trusting nature with a strong desire for adventure. And, of course, she also has that irresistible urge to write. I can't imagine my childhood without this book. tags: Inspired me, I recommend, I read
