Judith Kerr was born in Berlin in 1923 but left Germany with her family during the Second World War. She met her husband, influential British screenwriter, Nigel Kneale, at the BBC. "There was total recognition," she says. "I sometimes wonder how my life would have been if he'd had a cold the day I went to the BBC." They married in 1954 and remained married until Kneale's death in 2006. Judith Kerr lives in London.
