The Borrowers Avenged is a children's fantasy novel by Mary Norton, published in 1982 by Viking Kestrel in the UK and Harcourt in the US. It was the last of five books in a series that is usually called The Borrowers, inaugurated by The Borrowers in 1952.
The Borrowers Avenged was written more than 20 years after its predecessor The Borrowers Aloft. It is about twice as long as the others at nearly 300 pages; the 1966 British omnibus edition of four novels was only 699 pages. Pauline Baynes succeeded Diana L. Stanley as illustrator in the U.K. while Beth and Joe Krush continued as U.S. illustrators.
The book received a positive reception by critics. New York magazine called it a "well-drawn portrait ...wittily told" while Country Life called it "a modern classic in the making".
