Product Information

She is also the author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including The Tiger Who Came to Tea, which was first published in 1968 and has since sold more than one million copies worldwide. I learned a lot about the life of a refugee, from the child’s eye viewpoint despite being long past childhood. It is an autobiographical novel about a 9 year old girl and her family who become refugees and travel from Germany to various countries from 1933-1935. I didn’t know much about the book before I picked it up and was nearly put off by people talking about the author writing through as ged younger self.

In a way it gave me some hope for the children, after all, Anna and Max were resilient throughout all the upheaval, and it's a much needed reminder, with all the current rhetoric, that every single refugee is a human being with a unique story. Dip Into NEW PAPERBACKS [jsb_filter_by_tags count="15" show_more="10" sort_by="total_products"/] A selection of recent paperbacks.Mit dezenter Verschämtheit und doch in aller Unmissverständlichkeit sind Dynamiken so beschrieben, wie sie in Familien täglich stattfinden, aber meist unbewusst ablaufen. However, I enjoyed this book very much and I think my fellow book-club members have enjoyed this as well. Ich hatte mir die drei einzelnen Bücher gekauft, die ich jeweils nicht mehr aus der Hand geben konnte sondern in einem Rutsch durchlas. Sie sind fesselnd geschrieben, kunstvoll und in vielen tiefen Nuancen durchdacht, auch wenn der Schreibstil sehr einfach ist.

As a kid I thought this was the most awfully titled book on our shelf (being young and ignorant and not understanding the symbolism).Others about WW2 usually are about fears of the Nazi's and Hitler, but Anna's concerns don't affect anything about the crisis in history. A touching duo of simple but affecting autobiographical novels describing the disrupted childhood and coming of age of adaptable Jewish German refugee girl Anna tracing her journey from a comfortable life in Berlin via Switzerland and Paris to London in the Blitz. Kerr was born in Berlin but left Germany with her parents and her brother, Michael, in 1933, soon after the Nazis first came to power.
