The Borrowers Avenged is a children's fantasy novel by Mary Norton, published in 1982 by Viking Kestrel in the UK[1] 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.[5][6]

The Borrowers Avenged was written more than 20 years after its predecessor The Borrowers Aloft (1961).[5][7] It is about twice as long as the others at nearly 300 pages;[5][8] the 1966 British omnibus edition of four novels was only 699 pages.[9] Pauline Baynes succeeded Diana L. Stanley as illustrator in the UK while Beth and Joe Krush continued as US illustrators.[3][4][5][9]

The book received a positive reception by critics. New York magazine called it a "well-drawn portrait ...wittily told"[10] while Country Life called it "a modern classic in the making".[11]
