and more or less idly (a mouse with a mind of its own? a twitchy right index finger?) clicked on the subject heading: Bears -- Fiction. Wow. 431 hits. Well, all those Paddington books and all those Berenstain Bears... and so many children's book authors have done bears: Pinkwater Hobbs Hoff Peat Seuss McPhail McCully Hest Carlson Minarek Bunting Asch Milne :-) There are surely more fiction titles for grownups about bears than we can tease out of the catalog. We found a hunting story (The Last Hunt); Faulkner's The Bear, which is in Go Down, Moses (but the catalog doesn't say so); Audrey Schulman's dynamite novel about a polar bear researcher, The Cage; a Western, Shadow of the Grizzly; a YA novel, Ben Mikaelsen's Touching Spirit Bear...
