So, where I grew up (USSR/Russia), there was a version of Borrowers in children's lit, but with a utilitarian twist: they were Warranty Men, servicing household mechanisms and appliances.

There is a translation out there, but I have no confidence in it.

The author of the original book, Eduard Uspensky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduard_Uspensky), was a master of the kind of winky humor that worked with both children and adults. His characters were developed into some of the most loved cartoons in USSR. It would take a master linguist to reconfigure that wry humor into English.

The description is hilarious:

"The warranty people, small people who live in and take care of appliances under warranty, must defend themselves against a curious little girl and an army of mice.
