An extraordinary story of immense courage and daring rescue, based on real-life events experienced by Sandi Toksvig's family during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in the Second World War. 1940. Copenagen, Denmark. The German troops have invaded. The Second World War rages on. Ten-year-old Bamse Skovlund and his best friend Anton have been ordered to stay out of trouble.

Jewish Danes are subject to appalling treatment by the German occupiers, and every day are at risk of being taken away to concentration camps in mainland Europe. The Skovlund family are determined to fight against Nazi occupation. And if this means participating in one of history's most dramatic rescue missions, then it's time to take a stand. A tale of courage and love in Nazi-occupied Denmark based on accounts from beloved author and comedian Sandi Toksvig's own family. The book is inspired by the stories he told to her by her father, Bamse.Product Identifiers
