Description

A first edition, first printing of The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr.

  • Judith Kerr (German-British).
  • London: Collins, 1968.


A beloved children’s book about a friendly tiger who visits a girl named Sophie and eats all the family’s food. Beneath its charming simplicity lies a poignant subtext: Kerr, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, fled with her family in 1933. Many critics interpret the tiger as a metaphor for sudden, uncontrollable intrusion and loss—reflecting Kerr’s childhood experience of Nazi persecution.
