"The incredible story of how a house was witness to German history" Telegraph
"A touching picturebook which shows children that large events can have repercussions even in small and unheralded places" Wall Street Journal
A beautiful picture-book adaptation of Thomas Harding''s Costa-shortlisted biography for adults, exquisitely illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.
On the outskirts of Berlin, a wooden cottage stands on the shore of a lakeOver the course of a century, this little house played host to a loving Jewish family, a renowned Nazi composer, wartime refugees and a Stasi informant; in that time, a world war came and went, and the Berlin Wall was built a stone''s throw from the cottage''s back door.
Thomas Harding first shared this remarkable story in his Costa-shortlisted biography The House by the Lake – now he has rendered it into a deeply moving picture-book for young readers. With words that read like a haunting fairy-tale, and magnificent artwork by Britta Teckentrup, this is the astonishing true story of the house by the lake.
"An atmospheric and ultimately uplifting tale with delicate, ethereal images" The Financial Times
