Food writer and author Rachel Roddy chooses 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' by Judith Kerr, first published in 1968. More about the author: Having eventually arrived in England as refugees from Germany during the Second World War, both Kerr and her brother made their homes in Britain and all her family took British citizenship after the end of the war. Her London settings can seem quintessentially British, offering an intimate portrait of 1960s London. But her own childhood was marked by constant movement and upheaval, as well as a need to learn new languages, fleeing Germany for Switzerland, France and finally England, where her family lived in impoverished conditions for a number of years in cheap London hotels, often relying on the kindness of friends and connections to survive from week to week.
