"Set in the ghettos of wartime Warsaw, this is a sweeping, poignant and heartbreaking tale, based on the true story of one of World War II's quiet heroes - Dr Janusz Korczak. “With powerful themes of loss, hope and what it means to be human, The Good Doctor of Warsaw is a brave, moving and important book.” KATHERINE CLEMENTS, author of The Crimson Ribbon. “Powerful, harrowing and ultimately uplifting. Elisabeth Gifford has achieved an extraordinary blend of fact and fiction.” ANDREW TAYLOR"
