Dresden, Germany. Lizzie, her mother -- and an elephant from the zoo, flee the Allied fire-bombing in the end-game of the Second World War. Escaping the Allies' advance from the West -- and also the advancing Russian armies from the East -- This extraordinary trio of refugees meet: a downed RAF officer, cowering in a barn; a homeless school choir on the run and their Countess saviour, harbouring them from the Nazis; and the mechnanised American cavalry, appearing over the horizon. It is Lizzie's story -- but Marlene, the elephant, is the heroine. Plodding, obdurate, opportunistic, load-bearing, indestructible, cheering -- Marlene embodies the stubbornness of the human will and how it will do everything to survive."--Page [4] of cover. 650 0 $a Elephants $v Juvenile drama. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Juvenile drama. 651 0 $a Dresden (Germany) $x History $y Bombardment, 1945 $v Juvenile drama. 611 27 $a Bombardment of Dresden (Germany : 1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352055 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Elephants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908011 651 7 $a Germany $z Dresden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205937 648 7 $a 1939 - 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 700 1 $i Adaptation of (work): $a Morpurgo, Michael. $t Elephant in the garden. 830 0 $a Oberon plays for young people. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023443.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20160505050418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACA9C7406BEF11E5917E58C1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
