About the author

Judith Kerr was a German-born British writer and illustrator who has created both enduring picture books such as the Mog series and The Tiger Who Came To Tea and acclaimed novels for older children such as the autobiographical When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit which give a child's-eye view of the Second World War.

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. They were forced to leave as her father, noted drama critic, journalist and screenwriter Alfred Kerr, had openly criticised the Nazis,who burned his books shortly after the family had fled Germany. They travelled first to Switzerland and then on into France, before finally settling in Britain, where Kerr has lived ever since. She subsequently became a naturalised British citizen.

Reviews

[Elena and Safiye · Rating 5 out of 5]

My daughter (7 years old) read The Judith Kerr Treasury in English. She is Ukrainian-Turkish and has been studying English for 1 year. By this I want to say that the book’s language is easy to comprehend for a child, sentences are not long and simple. The stories of the book are very special and that’s why are particularly interesting.

We are very fond of the Mog series and my daughters were delighted to read some of Kerr's other stories.
