An epic story of determination and love, about one family's escape from the Allied bombing of Dresden in the Second World War.
Lizzie and Karl's mother is a zoo keeper; the family has become attached to an orphaned elephant named Marlene, who will be destroyed as a precautionary measure so she and the other animals don't run wild should the zoo be hit by bombs. The family persuades the zoo director to let Marlene stay in their garden instead. When the city is bombed, the family flees with thousands of others, but how can they walk the same route when they have an elephant in tow, and keep themselves safe? Along the way, they meet Peter, a Canadian navigator who risks his own capture to save the family.
As Michael Morpurgo writes in an author's note, An Elephant in the Garden is inspired by historical truths, and by his admiration for elephants, "the noblest and wisest and most sensitive of all creatures." Here is a story that brings together an unlikely group of survivors whose faith in kindness and love proves the best weapon of all.

Hierdie is die tweede drie-in-een boek van Hanli die hasie! (Die
vlieende hasie; Die Ysprinses & Die Kersfeeswens). Hanli die
hasie is die Afrikaanse vertaling van die gewilde Engelse boek
Lettice – waarvan daar al oor ’n miljoen boeke verkoop is. Hanli is
’n vrolike hasie wat saam met haar gesin hoog teen die kruin van ’n
heuwel woon. Knibbel, knibbel, hop, hop, elke dag is presies
dieselfde, behalwe wanneer sy verras word! Op ’n dag sien Hanli ’n
pragtige pienk vliegtuig in die lug. Daar en dan besluit sy dat sy
ook wil vlieg. Sy flap haar arms, haar ore, selfs haar snorbaarde
en stert, maar niks werk nie. Sy plof moedeloos op die gras neer.
Sal ’n gewone hasie soos sy dan nooit kan vlieg nie?. ’n Ander keer
hoor Hanli hoe kinders oor Kersfees praat. Sy wou nog altyd geweet
het wat Kersfees is en besluit om die kinders te volg en self
ondersoek in te stel … Die wonderlikste verrassing van almal is toe
Hanli op ’n yskoue wintersoggend genooi word om saam met kinders op
die bevrore meer te ysskaats. Net toe sy dink die dag kan nie meer
betowerend word nie, kry sy die kans om voor die Ysprinses te dans
– heeltemal op haar eie. Hanli die hasie sal reguit in klein
dogtertjies se harte in hop!.
