About this product
Product Information
'You don't want to mind about any of this, ' said the driver, waving a hand at the grey ruins and the greyer dust. 'In a few days you'll be so used to it that you'll like them. Berlin's a grand place! I'd rather be here than anywhere else in the world, and that's a fact.' 'No more perceptive portrait of Germany in defeat has been etched in word than Frances Faviell's first book, The Dancing Bear, which made so powerful an impact upon me that I read it in a single sitting.' Guy Ramsey, Daily Telegraph 'Berlin during the decisive years from 1946 to 1949. ... The prostitution which paid so handsomely; the black market which brought in rich rewards, although it meant that the Berliners had to part with treasured possessions; the night clubs which catered for still baser tastes; the impoverished intellectuals and the starving professors and the poor who had only their wits with which to eke out a bare sustenance--all this and much else the author describes with insight, incisiveness, and realism.' Times Literary Supplement 'There is great charity in this book; there is the sharp, limpid eye of the artist; there is sound realism; and there is an unswerving, passionate desire to tell the truth." John Connell, Evening News 'They were hard and terrible times, and brilliantly does Frances Faviell describe them for us. We meet the Altmann family and follow their joys and troubles. ... The book is a brilliant pen-picture of the post-war years. We have British, French, American and Russian characters, but the background is always Berlin, and the strange tunes to which its bear danced.' Liverpool Daily Post This new edition includes an afterword by Frances Faviell's son, John Parker, and additional supplementary material.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
