Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine.
Kerr's memoir of her flight from Nazi Germany is a modern children's classic able to stand alongside of Anne Frank's diary. Adults can profit from a reading as well as children, for a knowledge of the historical events behind the personal trauma grants added resonance. I have shared with book with students in my college-level course on war and film, in assignments keyed to the experience of children in war. Readers new to Kerr's work will enjoy this first volume and pursue its sequel.
