Escape to England! In this novel, aimed at young readers and adults, the daughter of the renowned theater critic Alfred Kerr from the Weimar Republic weaves in her own childhood experiences. From the perspective of nine-year-old Anna, she recounts how her Jewish family must flee Berlin in early 1933 and finds no refuge in Switzerland or Paris. In two subsequent volumes, we eventually learn how the family arrives in England. On the occasion of Judith Kerr's 90th birthday, the trilogy is being released as a special edition in one volume. This classic, translated by Annemarie Böll, has long been an important part of school reading lists.
