Or the adventures of a not very bright but charming cat called Mog? We certainly can't!
So it was lovely to find out that the first book of Judith Kerr's trilogy for older children and adults has been dramatized and will be broadcast on Sunday on radio 4 as the Classic serial.
Out of the Hitler Time: When Hitler Stole Pink RabbitBy Judith Kerr, dramatised by Beaty Rubens.
The first book of the internationally acclaimed trilogy tells the story of a Jewish family forced to flee from Germany in 1933 - told from the perspective of nine year old Anna.
