Product Description
Review
"Another eccentric delight from the author of The Underground Man and Ten Sorry Tales, with illustrations from David Roberts. 'There is no category of bear whose story makes for more depressing reading, and whose miserable existence heaps more shame on humanity than that which follows...' 'Completely twisted - utterly enchanting.' Sunday Times on Ten Sorry Tales"
Product Description
Taking in the bears in chains, the circus bears of Bristol, the Victorian sewer bears and the spirit bears of the early years, among others, Mick Jackson's strange beast of a book explores some little known chapters in England's past. Mixing folk tale with fantasy, and history with myth, the narrative that unfolds is dark, playful and filled with magical moments, as it marches ever forward towards a strange convergence.
