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.
