I don’t often link to Times features, because of the paywall, but there was a rather good double page feature profile of Judith Kerr in yesterday Times Review, in which, amongst other things, the 92-year-old Kerr showed herself to be very clear-headed about the current migrant situation:

“It’s almost overwhelming change. I think it’s not just the war in Syria, it’s that people who used to live fairly awful lives in all those places didn’t know there was anything better and now they can see it, how people live [in the West]. It will be a different world. The religion bit is the uncertain thing. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a problem at all: these are excellent people.”

Judith Kerr’s latest book is Mister Cleghorn’s Seal
