About Judith Kerr
Judith Kerr was born in Berlin, but left Germany with her family in 1933 to escape the Nazis. They arrived in England in 1936, having spent the intervening years in Switzerland and France.
She met her husband the celebrated screenwriter Nigel Kneale, by chance, while having lunch at the BBC canteen, where she later worked as a scriptwriter. They married in 1954 and had two children together: Tacy and Matthew.
Judith was awarded an OBE in 2012 for services to children’s literature and holocaust education and was also awarded the Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. She celebrated both her 95th birthday and the 50th anniversary of The Tiger Who Came to Tea in 2018, and in 2019 was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards.
In May 2019, Judith died after a short illness. Judith’s final completed work, The Curse of The School Rabbit, was published in June 2019.
Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The sales block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
