This trilogy is a largely autobiographical account of how Anna and her family flee Germany in 1933, travelling to Switzerland, then France, then England. In London during the Blitz, Anna is an "enemy alien". After the war she returns to Berlin where her mother is very ill, and must face the past.

About the Author

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.

From the Back Cover

AN OMNIBUS EDITION CONTAINING THREE CLASSIC BOOKS

Anna was a German child when she had to flee from the Nazis before the War. By the time the bombs began to fall she was a stateless adolescent in London, and after it was all over she became a happily married Englishwoman who had put the past behind her – or so she thought.

In Judith Kerr's internationally acclaimed trilogy 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, The Other Way Round 'and 'A Small Person Far Away', we see the world through Anna's eyes as she grows up – from her much loved family to Hitler's holocaust.

Judith Kerr was born in Berlin and left Germany in 1933 to escape the Nazis. Her novels are based on her own experience.
