The House by the Park

A new book from the series THE HOUSE…
by Thomas Harding and Britta Teckentrup

In South London, there is a house where a cheerful woman
lived for sixty years. The house stands next to a beautiful
park called Barnes Common. This woman told her two
young children many stories, including one about a tiger
who came to tea and a cat named Mog. The cheerful
woman’s name was Judith Kerr, and her books are loved
all over the world.

This is how the new book by Thomas Harding and Britta
Teckentrup begins. With the help of Judith Kerr’s children,
Tacy and Matthew, they took up the story of Judith Kerr
and created a beautiful book about it.
