The Talking Bear

During the 1960's, Constance Shore ("Connie" to her friends, but "Nanna" to her grandchildren - of which I am one) lovingly wrote and hand-painted fairy stories for her grandchildren.  These she would read as bedtime stories, and we were utterly captivated.



This is the story of a little fairy called Rose Petal, a nasty old witch, a handsome prince and a talking bear…



When you have finished reading the book, there is a small interactive quiz about the story.
