Description

Partly autobiographical, this is the third title in Judith Kerr's internationally acclaimed trilogy of books following the life of Anna through war-torn Germany, to London during the Blitz and her return to Berlin to discover the past...

Berlin is where Anna lived before Hitler, when she was still a German child; before she spoke a word of English, before her family had all become refugees. Long before her happy new existence in London. But Mama is there, dangerously ill. Anna is forced to go back, to deal with questions of life and death, to face old fears, and to discover the past which she has so long shut away.

Content warning: this book contains references to suicide, appropriate for older readers.

Author

Am 14. Juni 1923 kommt Judith Kerr als Tochter des berühmten Theaterkritikers Alfred Kerr in Berlin zur Welt. Sofort nach der Machtergreifung der Nazis muss die jüdische Familie aus Deutschland fliehen. Nach Stationen in der Schweiz und Frankreich emigriert sie 1935 schließlich nach London.
Nach dem Krieg arbeitet Judith Kerr als freiberufliche Malerin und Textildesignerin. Seit 1953 war sie für die BBC tätig, erst als Redakteurin und Lektorin, später dann als Drehbuchautorin. 1954 heiratet Judith Kerr den Schriftsteller Nigel Kneale. Nach der Geburt ihrer Kinder Tacy und Matthew gibt sie ihre Arbeit für einige Jahre auf.
Judith Kerr OBE was born in Berlin. Her family left Germany in 1933 to escape the rising Nazi party, and came to England. She studied at the Central School of Art and later worked as a scriptwriter for the BBC.

Judith married the celebrated screenwriter Nigel Kneale in 1954. She left the BBC to look after their two children, who inspired her first picture book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Published in 1968 and never out of print in the fifty years since, it has become a much-loved classic and perennial bestseller.

Judith was awarded the Booktrust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, and in 2019 was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards. Judith died in May 2019 at the age of 95, and her stories continue to entertain and delight generations of children.
