The Borrowers afield

The Borrowers Afield continues the story of the Clock family. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty are now homeless. They journey through the English countryside to find a new home.

While there have been several adaptations of The Borrowers series, the 1997 film "The Borrowers" primarily draws from the first book, and the 2010 Japanese animated film "Arrietty" also focuses on the initial story. There is no direct film adaptation specifically titled "The Borrowers Afield" that covers the events of this particular sequel.

Yes, it is highly recommended to read "The Borrowers" first. "The Borrowers Afield" is a direct sequel that continues the story immediately after the events of the first book, and much of the emotional impact and character motivations rely on understanding their previous experiences and forced displacement.
