Description: Set in Northamptonshire, England, after WW II, this delightful fantasy tells the story of Maria, a ten-year-old orphan, owner of the estate on which she lives bullied by her governess, Miss Brown and Brown's accomplice, Maria's guardian, the aptly named Mr. Hater. These two conspire to steal her inheritance by keeping her from outside society. Her life changes when she discovers a colony of Lilliputians on an island in an ornamental lake. As her relationship with them grows, she learns a lot about attitudes of superiority of one group over another and the fallacy of thinking you can make other peoples' decisions for them.
