A personal journey to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the teddy bear in the year 2002.
This book shows the changing face of the teddy bear, decade by decade, from the Steiff bears of the early 1900s to the latest inspirations for the 21st century. The famous, the rare, the endearing and the oddities are all here, beautifully depicted in over one hundred delicate pencil drawings.
The artist Prue Theobalds succumbed to the teddy bear's charm when her gaze was caught by two gleaming boot-button eyes in a museum display cabinet. The initial encounter was to lead her on a twenty-year journey in the company of bears, as revealed in her many bestselling children's books.
