I Am David

　　逃出後，先到薩隆尼卡，再乘船到義大利，目標是遙遠的北方……千萬不能被逮到，一定要找到相片中的女士……大衛幼年即被關入東歐的集中營〈但他並不是猶太人〉。十二歲這一年，他莫名得到一個人的幫助，逃出了集中營。他連自己是誰都搞不清楚，只知道幫他的人要他逃向北方，一個叫丹麥的國家。逃亡路程從薩隆尼卡開始，接著渡海到義大利，展開一場歐洲大陸的漂泊之旅……旅程中，大衛發現自己的自由意志─他與生俱來卻被剝奪多年的天性─正漸漸甦醒。逃亡的孤獨與恐懼一度使他徹底絕望，卻在生平第一次瞭望義大利美景時，產生了活下去的渴望……途中一些好心人的幫助，例如船上的義大利水手、少女瑪莉亞和她的父母，及喜歡畫畫的女士等人，是他歷險中莫大的依靠。然而，當他陷入惡人之手，唯有摯友約翰尼斯曾唸給他聽的美麗詩句安慰他：「祂使我躺臥在青草地上，領我在可安歇的水邊。」另外，還有一隻極聰明的牧羊犬，對他付出最大的友誼與忠誠……

　　本書曾被改編為電影【送信到哥本哈根】，中文版《我是大衛》由宇宙光出版。

David's entire twelve-year life has been spent in a grisly prison camp in Eastern Europe. He knows nothing of the outside world. But when he is given the chance to escape, he seizes it. With his vengeful enemies hot on his heels, David struggles to cope in this strange new world, where his only resources are a compass, a few crusts of bread, his two aching feet, and some vague advice to seek refuge in Denmark. Is that enough to survive?
David's extraordinary odyssey is dramatically chronicled in Anne Holm's classic about the meaning of freedom and the power of hope.
