1907. With sixteen illustrations. The book begins: There are no bears in England now, although many hundred years ago they were to be found in great numbers, and people used to hunt them and make warm coats of their fur. But there are other countries where bears still live in the forests and among the mountains. The bears I am going to tell you about lived high up in the Alps, and their home was a large cavern in the rocks very nearly at the top of a steep mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Bear had lived there for a very long time, and hoped to spend the rest of their lives in their mountain home.
