Synopsis

A wonderfully funny whirlwind adventure, full of madcap mishaps and misunderstandings, as Mary Plain goes on her first ever ‘svisit’ and ends up as Berne's most famous bear!

Join Mary, who in her own words is 'an unusual first-class bear', as she tries all sorts of new things, including eclairs, cream buns, going on buses, aeroplanes, boats, taxis and even winning first prize at a show, all in the company of her long suffering-friend, the Owl Man.

Gwynedd Rae's enchanting Mary Plain stories have an enduring, timeless appeal and Clara Vulliamy's fresh, funny and energetic illustrations will introduce Mary Plain and friends to a whole new generation of readers.

The original text is lovingly reproduced in this hardback foiled edition, with brand-new black and white artwork by renowned illustrator Clara Vulliamy, including a new heart-warming introduction from Clara Vulliamy about what the books mean

to her.
