About this Item

A first edition, first printing of 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' published by Collins in 1968. A very good book without inscriptions. A touch rubbed to the edges and to the corners. Small dink to the head of the rear panel. Binding a touch loose in places - internally very clean indeed. A very nice example indeed. 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. or it could just be about a massive hungry tiger.
