The Tiger Who came to Tea

A retrospective exhibiton of Judith Kerr the author and illustrator of 'The Tiger who came to Tea' and 'Mog'. I just caught the last day of this exhibition fortunately in time as it was very inspirational to walk through Judith Kerr's work and life. On display there were drawings by Judith Kerr when she was only ten years old of children walking down the school steps and playing games in the playground. All done by memory yet the faces on her drawings had a great style already at the age of ten!
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit was a fantastic story of her childhood memory of leaving Germany during the war. The exhibition showed original drawings and watercolours and her inspiration for her stories, her family.
