Overview
Discover Judith Kerr's Out of the Hitler Time trilogy, a moving three-book paperback set following young Anna from Berlin in 1933 through wartime London and back to a divided Berlin as an adult. Drawing on Kerr's own childhood as a Jewish refugee fleeing Nazi Germany, this semi-autobiographical trilogy is a cornerstone of children's historical fiction, prized by parents, teachers and librarians for bringing twentieth-century history vividly and gently to young readers aged nine and up.

About the Books
This paperback collection brings together the complete Out of the Hitler Time trilogy exactly as originally published. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit opens in Berlin, 1933, as nine-year-old Anna and her family flee Germany when her father, a prominent Jewish writer, becomes a Nazi target; Anna leaves behind her home and beloved toy rabbit as the family escapes across Europe. Bombs on Aunt Dainty, originally published as The Other Way Round, follows Anna as a teenager in London during the Blitz, navigating first love and nightly danger, ending on VE Day. A Small Person Far Away completes the trilogy years later, as an adult Anna is called back to a divided Berlin to her seriously ill mother, forcing her to confront a past she thought she had left behind. Together the novels trace one girl's journey from childhood displacement through war to adulthood, told in Kerr's clear, warm prose that has made the trilogy a trusted classroom and family reading choice for exploring the refugee experience and wartime Europe.
