 Young Tilde Cohen and her mother are Jews who are searching for a safe place to hide. They go to Princess Alice’s residence unannounced, begging the princess to hide them. Princess Alice of Greece was born deaf, but is proficient in lip-reading. Her kindness is put to the test when two Gestapo agents come by and demand to search the house. She uses her cleverness to outwit the men and keep Tilde and her mother safe. The illustrations depict emotions beautifully. Also included are biographical facts and photographs of Princess Alice. The book is based on a true story from World War II Greece. Alice is the grandmother of England’s Prince Charles and the great-grandmother of Princes William and Harry. mjw |
