Since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed stories like The Borrowers and The Indian in the Cupboard. Not just stories about little people, but there has to be some interaction between little people and big people. Does anybody know of anything online that I could check out? I can’t be the only one with this obsession.
I have read Tabitha King’s Small World and found it a bit oogy for my tastes. but strangely compelling.
No, but have you ever read Stephen King’s short story " The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet"? That’s probably right up your alley, but you’ll probably need to find the actual book of short stories- Skeleton Crew- to find it.
RE King
Wasn’t that more a story about insane writers?
Terry pratchetts Bromeliad series (Truckers, Diggers, Wings) and Carpet people
The Littles by John Peterson. And though it’s not really about alittle person, but a little mouse, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary might interest you.
Perhaps not what you are out after, but there is a fetish related to this area. At some stage in my web exploration I found a site for people who fantasise about giants and minature people.
I would imagine there is a lot of fan fiction available, but that much of it is x-rated. However you might be able to find tamer stuff too exploring relationships or some such… If you are searching on it you might want to search on “shrinking” and “growing” as well. Also “macrophiles” and “microphiles” I think.
I have always thought it rather cool too (albeit not in a sexual sense), I really enjoyed the stories you mentioned. If you haven’t read Gullivers Travels then you might like to check it out, it includes a visit to an island of tiny-people.

That’s for the reader to decide by the end: is he insane, or is someone living in his typewriter?
