The book you are about to read came into our hands through unusual circumstances. It was left outside the offices of Ursus Publications, in a neatly wrapped package with no return address, late one night in the middle of 2019. Security camera footage showed a small, furry figure – apparently a teddy bear - dropping the package at the door and running away. A reading of the manuscript indicated that this was the bear’s biography of his human owner. Since “Ursus” means bear in Latin, it is believed the bear hoped for a favorable reception from this company. After several staff members had read the book, we decided that the story of this human and his bear (or vice versa!) was worth sharing, and we have offered it to the public.
