Description
A beautiful picture-book adaptation of Thomas Hardings Costa-shortlisted biography for adults, exquisitely illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.On the outskirts of Berlin, a wooden cottage stands on the shore of a lake. Over 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 stones throw from the cottages 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.PRAISE FOR THE ORIGINAL BIOGRAPHY OF THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE:A Radio 4 Book of the WeekNamed a Best Book of the Year by:The Times >> New Statesman >> Daily Express >> Commonweal magazineShortlisted for the Costa Biography Award 2015Longlisted for the Orwell Prize 2016Over 50 five-star reviews on AmazonA passionate memoir. - Neil MacGregorA superb portrait of twentieth century Germany seen through the prism of a house which was lived in, and lost, by five different families.
