The house on the canal : the story of the house that hid Anne Frank / Thomas Harding ; illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.

Harding, Thomas, 1968- (author.). Teckentrup, Britta, (illustrator.). Harding, Thomas, 1968- Container of (expression): Das alte Haus an der Gracht. English. (Added Author).

Summary:

"In the middle of Amsterdam, next to a canal, stands a tall, narrow house. It was built almost four hundred years ago and has served as a home, a warehouse, a stable, and most notably, a hiding place. Sometimes it was splendidly decorated, humming with life and love; other times, the narrow house stood empty, in near ruins. Sometimes its green door was open and inviting; other times, it was closed against cold and plague or to conceal the victims of wartime persecution. This is the story of an extraordinary building, a structure that Anne Frank called in the pages of her diary 'the old house on the canal.'"-- Front jacket flap.
