German-born British author and illustrator Judith Kerr, poses for a photograph at her home in west London on June 12, 2018. - As British author Judith Kerr celebrates turning 95 on Thursday, her famous children's book "The Tiger Who Came To Tea" remains the crowning achievement of a life devoted to writing and drawing after she fled Nazi Germany. The story chronicles Sophie and her mother, having tea in the kitchen when the doorbell rings. In steps a huge tiger who devours all the food and drink before never being seen again. "It was a bedtime story I made up for my daughter who was then three," said the nonagenarian, with curly grey hair and a mischievous smile, in the living room of her south west London brick house where she raised two children.
