Looking for a book from the 70's about a miniature family, I think named the Abbots who lived in the walls of a house?

It might be this... "The Borrowers" - If not, then it certainly "borrowed" the idea from them. "The Borrowers" is from the 50's and concerns a family of miniature people living beneath the floorboards of a house in England. There's a whole series of books about them.

Sorry if I'm wrong (being British, this is what your question made me immediately think of). In a similar vein, Terry Pratchett wrote some humorous novels about "little people" in our world (which I've also linked below).

There are several books about a family of "Borrowers" who lives in the walls of a house. I’m guessing that’s what you mean. I don’t remember them being named Abbot but I haven’t read them in about 30 years.

There's a children's play place in Middletown CT that has all different themed play rooms, and their reading room is a "Borrower's" room. You can sit on a giant hairbrush and everything is scaled so you are the size of a Borrower. Fun even for adults!

Anyone who has ever entertained the notion of "little people" living furtively among us will adore this artfully spun classic. The Borrowers--a Carnegie Medal winner, a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award book, and an ALA Distinguished Book--has stolen the hearts of thousands of readers since its 1953 publication. Mary Norton (1903-1993) creates a make-believe world in which tiny people live hidden from humankind beneath the floorboards of a quiet country house in England.

Pod, Homily, and daughter Arrietty of the diminutive Clock family outfit their subterranean quarters with the tidbits and trinkets they've "borrowed" from "human beans," employing matchboxes for storage and postage stamps for paintings. Readers will delight in the resourceful way the Borrowers recycle household objects. For example, "Homily had made her a small pair of Turkish bloomers from two glove fingers for 'knocking about in the mornings.

'" The persistent pilfering goes undetected until a boy (with a ferret!) comes to live in the country house. Curiosity drives Arrietty to commit the worst mistake a Borrower can make: she allows herself to be seen. This engaging, sometimes hair-raisingly suspenseful adventure is recounted in the kind, eloquent voice of narrator Mrs. May, whose brother might--just might--have seen an actual Borrower in the country house many years ago.(Ages 9 to 12) This book was a favorite of mine!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
