  One of a series in which each book is dedicated to collectables featuring an individual animal, this book focuses on bears. The text is a mixture of fact, anecdote and legend, detailing the bear's role in history, art, literature, folklore and magic, and the illustrations show ways in which the bear has been depicted as artwork, icon, toy and trademark.
