Boards. Zustand: Very Good/Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. "Growing up without a Teddy Bear is like missing an important link in the chain of events that make up a life-time" says one staunch actophile. Bear awareness has been a constant force in the lives of children and adults since the first soft…toy called 'Teddy's Bear' was made in 1903. In this delightful and heartwarming book, the authors, themselves confirmed arctophiles, explore the nature of bear awareness, from the beginning of the century to the present day. They introduce prominent (and not so prominent) Teddy Bear lovers and look at teddies in fiction - childhood favorites like Winnie-the-Pooh, Rupert Bear, Paddington and, most recently, Superted. They also list the 100 best names given to teddies all round the world and present the best 'bear thoughts' from people in all walks of life. The story of how the Teddy Bear got its name is well known, but it is retold in its true version, together with the history of Teddy Bear manufacture in Europe, America and Britain. There is also a delightful collection of events and happenings concerning bears, many proving beyond all doubt the healing and sometimes life-saving powers of the Teddy Bear. Including a wealth of photographs, drawings and cartoons, and a guide to the bear museums, clubs, books, hospitals and manufacturers, The Teddy Bear Lovers' Book is the perfect present for all archtophile, a fitting companion to the best of friends. Illustrated laminated cover.
