POLAR THE TITANIC BEAR - by Daisy Stone Spedden - NEW PAPERBACK

Description: This is a "strange" combination of history and historical fiction. CONDITION: NEW 2002 (the dates are 1994 and 2002) Madison Press for Little, Brown large paperback, second printing. The artwork by Laurie McGaw is superb. Also illustrated by B&W era photos - some of the Titanic. Subtitled also as "The True Story of the Toy Bear Who survived the Titanic." CONTENT: Written for her son by an American heiress whose family survived the 1912 sinking of the "Titanic", this account of the Edwardian life and of the disaster is told through the eyes of the young boy's teddy bear. Illustrated with watercolors and family photographs, this book makes an ideal read-aloud. Daisy Corning Stone Spedden penned the manuscript for Polar, The Titanic Bear for her son, Douglas, after the family survived the Titanic disaster in 1912. The original booklet was found, among other items, by Leighton H. Coleman III, a distant relation of the Spedden family, in his grandfather's barn. After sending a copy of the story to the Titanic Historical Society, it came to the attention of Madison Press Books, who eventually published the story with Little, Brown and Company. A sad footnote to this book: The young boy died in the "first recorded car accident" in Maine in 1914. This book moves from non-fiction to historical fiction and back. Your choice what to call it.
