Arrietty's first glimpse of the big people's worldĪrrietty has always been stuck inside the walls of the big house, in her little house. The ceiling didn't just have a painting of palm trees, but a painting of "feathery palm trees." And there aren't just houses, but "small white houses set about a square."
