No More Tigers: A deeply moving memoir of a childhood in wartime Burma

0/5 ( ratings)

When I was eight I walked out of Burma...

So begins bestselling children's author Mary Rayner's memoir, a beautifully written and deeply moving account of a family who for several generations lived in colonial Burma, and of what happened to them when World War 2 shattered their lives.

Featuring dozens of original photographs that capture the people and places that were once part of the British Empire, plus the heartbreaking love letters from a husband and wife torn apart by war, No More Tigers is a searing, intelligent and self-aware look at a bygone era. It's a quest for understanding, for home, for answers. Packed so full of detail it carries you away to a different time and place, it's laugh-aloud funny, yet isn't afraid to ask uncomfortable questions about how we used to live.

*From the author/illustrator of the much-loved picture books, Mr & Mrs Pig's Evening Out, Garth Pig & The Icecream Lady, Mrs Pig's Bulk Buy and many more

* Published and edited by Mary's daughter, Sarah Rayner and featuring a Foreword and Afterword penned by Sarah
