Book Description

Publication Date: 10 Nov 1994

An omnibus edition of 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.

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 thought she had put the past behind her.

This omnibus edition of the three volumes of Judith Kerr’s Hitler trilogy, tells her story beginning with the rise of Hitler in 1933 through to her return to Berlin years after the war.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the complete omnibus 9 Jan 2008
By S. Tucker
Format:Paperback
If you are thinking of getting this edition instead of the three books individually, be aware that it does not contain the complete text of the last, A Small Person Far Away. I don't know about the other two but the cuts for the third were considerable. However, this in no way detracts from the power of the story. This book should be read by as many people as possible, in whatever form.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating... 30 Nov 2003
By "rhiannonjodie"
Format:Paperback
Although this book is technically a children's book I loved it. It is easy to forget that war didn't just affect the men on the front-line, and this book takes us on the journey of the life an every day family. Anna's family may be Jewish, but they are not a religious family, and Anna only knows she is a Jew because her Father tells her so. This must have been very confusing for a child. The story is based on the true life of the author, which adds meaning to the plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars direct, honest and deep 19 Dec 2005
By Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This trilogy , fictionalised as it is, is really Judith Kerr's own story of her family's escape from Nazi Germany at the time of Hitler's accession to power, their stay in Switzerland and then England, deprived of the comfortable lifestyle they had in Berlin (her father was a successful and highly esteemed writer), her first steps in the world of creative art (and a parallel love affair) and then, in her third book, her return in the 1950s to Berlin to visit her ill mother. It is written very simply and directly, as for a young person, but there is nothing childish about it. The directness makes it both powerful and moving. I have never read such a 'real' personal account of the Blitz, for example. I came to these books through the writer's children's books about The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Mog the Forgetful Cat, classics both. These three books are a different kind of thing, but it is easy to see the link between the gentle humanity of the children's books and this trilogy. Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'A very motivating and capturing story' 22 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This story will bring tears to your eyes.
It's based on the experience of the author's childhood. It's starts of as a Jewish girl named Anna who has everything in the world she needs. Her dad is a very rich writer. Then Hitler comes along wanting to rule over Germany. So they have to escape to Switzerland to live quite poorly but travel with Anna and her brother Max into a lot of adventures and tragic moments that you will never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars utterly amazing 2 May 2011
By oliette
Format:Paperback
For my 13th birthday I got a book card and I was deciding on books to buy. My mum picked up 'When Hitler stole pink rabbit', I dismissed it because it was in the childrens' section but later I found 'Out of Hitler time' in the teenage section, I flicked through and bought it (mainly because it cheaper buying the whole thing rather than the books separately!)I started Pink Rabbit as soon as I got home and enjoyed immensely; it was easy to read and humorous. I began the 2nd book but couldn't get into it, I don't know why because when I picked it up again last month (I'm almost 15 now, and wondered if the books would be too childish for me) I was sucked in all over again! The other two are just as good as the first, only for teenagers- and adults would probably enjoy them too. The 3rd one particularly is more adult, it deals with family tragedy, and although the least happens, it is, in my opinion the best! In my German class now we are reading Pink Rabbit (Als Hitler das rosa kaninchen stahl' and we are working our way through that and we love it!
I would recommend this trilogy to anyone who enjoys a nice, easy read on a Sunday afternoon :) read it, it will stay with you for a long time... <3

5.0 out of 5 stars Back again 10 Feb 2011
By Magical Miss M
Format:Paperback
Every child should read these stories. If the child in your life is an avaid reader you should choose this omnibus edition so that they can follow the central character through each phase of the evacuation and reinvention of life as a refugee. There is a lot of modern racism about assylum seekers so you do not have to be a child of the forties or Jewish to feel the relevance.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good about growing up, families, 'being there' in history 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Everything in the books sounds true and imaginable; it could happen to you or your parents or grandparents. What I liked most was that the honesty and clarity about life and death, and relationships, and everyday life, comes across without being crude. You could read these books to a five-year-old, but there is also enough in them to interest a fifty-year-old who is learning to read. Judith Kerr deserves a prize (well, buy the books, anyway).

4.0 out of 5 stars These work brilliantly put together as a trilogy 30 Oct 2000
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I was fascinated by the way that the authorial voice changed and matured with Anna. Things that seemed puzzling and simplistic in When Hitler Stole the Pink Rabbit, take on more meaning as Anna grows in maturity and understanding. Tremendously readable and does a brilliant job of bringing the enormous subject of WW2 into the scope of a child's understanding without being overwhelming.
