Publisher's Note
Written by American heiress Daisy Corning Stone Spedden for her son Douglas--as a Christmas present the year after they escaped the doomed Titanic--this charming and intriguing story gives an enthralling account of the disaster as seen through the eyes of Stephen's teddy bear. Illustrated with evocative watercolors, family photos, postcards, and keepsakes.

Industry Reviews
Gr 2 Up In 1913, a society matron wrote a story for her young son to recount the events of an adventurous year of travel that climaxed in their homeward passage on the ill-fated Titanic. She uses the voice of Douglas's favorite toy, a stuffed bear named Polar, to narrate the pleasures of beaches and cities, the child's bout with measles, the excitement of boarding the luxury liner, and the terror of the long night at sea in a lifeboat as the ship went down. Full-page realistic paintings show the Speddens at home in Tuxedo Park, New York, and abroad. Sepia photographs of the family give substance to their elegant Edwardian lifestyle and blend well with the handsome watercolors. The inclusion of realia postcards from Europe and tickets from the Titanic adds color and authenticity to the photos. Well designed and thoughtfully researched, the book offers entertainment, history, and a glimpse of a vanished world. It is a perfect choice for family reading, where an adult can speak of time and change to a child whose interest is captured by Polar's tale of adventure, and who is just beginning to understand the concept of generations and past lives.
