Written by the beloved Judith Kerr, this semi-autobiographical classic tells the story of a Jewish family fleeing Germany in the years before the Second World War. This beautiful new edition marks fifty years of a story Michael Morpurgo once called “The most life-enhancing book you could ever wish to read.” Imagine your country beginning to change, so gradually you barely notice, until it becomes dangerous for certain people to go on living there – and then discovering, to your surprise, that your own father is one of them. This is exactly what happens to Anna in 1933. Too caught up in schoolwork and tobogganing to pay much attention to talk of Hitler, Anna is suddenly rushed out of Germany one day, in alarming secrecy, alongside her brother Max, leaving behind everything she knows because their father is wanted by the Nazis. So begins a huge adventure – sometimes frightening, often funny, and always exciting. Judith Kerr wrote When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit fifty years ago, drawing on her own journey, so that her children would understand where she came from and what lengths her parents went to in order to keep her and her brother safe. It has since become a beloved classic, required reading for children around the world and an unforgettable introduction to the real-life impact of the Second World War. This new paperback edition celebrates fifty years of this extraordinary story.
