Synopsis:

Bears of England is another eccentric delight from the author of The Underground Man and Ten Sorry Tales, with illustrations by David Roberts.

Featuring bears in chains, the circus bears of Bristol, the Victorian sewer bears and the spirit-bears of yore, Mick Jackson’s strange bear bestiary 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 unexpected moments, as it marches ever forward towards a strange convergence.
