Goodbye Judith

In 1933 a little girl fled Germany with her family. After stints in Switzerland and France they settled in Britain, where little Judith dreamed of becoming an author. Years later, in 1968, her dream would come true. That was the year a Tiger Came to Tea.

A rude but welcome house guest.

Judith Kerr would go on to create the iconic Mog series, based on her own pet cat.

Wholesome content.

She would also write the semi-autobiographical Out of the Hitler Time trilogy, including the beloved When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, and several one-off picture books.

Mrs Monkey: forever in the shadow of a rude tiger and a forgetful cat.

Yesterday, on the 22nd May 2019, Judith Kerr passed away. She has left a beautiful legacy that will doubtless bring joy to children for many years to come. Goodbye Mog, and Goodbye Judith. You will be remembered.
