- I know about The Borrowers, and read one of the books in my teens, but I
- disliked them; they seemed unreal, with no historical background, and it
- seemed odd that they lived this cosy family life more or less without any
- supporting 'civilisation'. The nomes are communcal,, and have to think in
- terms of nomekind. No. Any influence at all is from Swift, in this case.
