Now, author Geoff Mead has provided not one but two <\/em>extra gifts for winter story time.\"Geoff<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bear Son<\/em> and John Bear<\/em> are two new stories revisiting Bear Child<\/em>\u2019s Ursula and Daddy. Each brings to life a traditional tale of bear folklore, in Geoff\u2019s original style.<\/p>\n

One snowy night in The Bear Son<\/em><\/strong>, Ursula’s daddy tells her the story of Ulva, the old Inuit woman who adopted Nanuk the polar bear as her son. And in Geoff’s second tale, Ursula’s Daddy takes her camping in the Pyrenees. Daddy tells her about a local legend\u00a0\u2013 John Bear<\/strong>,\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>a story about a boy whose father was a bear. But, Ursula is convinced that the story should really be about Jane Bear!<\/p>\n

For a limited time, we\u2019ll send you these two exclusive audio stories read by Geoff Mead. Just place your order of\u00a0Bear Child<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>before 14th December<\/strong> to claim this special offer.<\/p>\n
