About

This postcard promotes the launch of Lois Keith’s book ‘Out of Place’. The book is about a disabled child who fled the Nazi regime on the Kindertransport during the 2nd world war.

‘Out of Place’ was written after Lois Keith won the Sue Napolitano Award for Disabled Writers. The award was launched in July 1999, offering £10,000 for a disabled writer to produce work exploring disability as its main theme.
